Bible verse rifle sights spark proselytizing concerns in Iraq

Defense Dept photo shows U S Army Sgt Daniel Alonzo with an M 4 carbine at a Hayy Iraq post as Iraqi police observe. Sights on combat rifles reportedly carry Bible verses raising questions about government rules on troop proselytizing in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Bible verses on U S combat rifle scopes stir proselytizing concerns

The M8:12 and 2COR4:6 inscriptions on Trijicon Advanced Combat Optical Gunsights used by U S forces in Iraq and Afghanistan are defended by military officials as non proselytizing. Trijicon says the markings are subtle, have existed since 1995, and have not prompted complaints. Critics warn the Bible verses could be used as propaganda by enemies.
