Trijicon ACOG
Word got out today that references to verses from the Holy Bible are being imprinted on Trijicon ACOGs and there seems to be a few people whose panties are getting in a wad over it. First, the military has a right to pick and choose which hardware they use. They may specify what is imprinted on that hardware but specifications come at a cost.
The problem is that a Trijicon ACOG, short for Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight, is a superb optic and it would be a shame if the military stopped using them over political correctness.
The first time I ever picked one up I was in awe. The optics are crisp and light transmission is very good. They are lightweight, compact, and durable. If you’ve ever watched Fox News, they always use stock footage of Marines in Afghanistan using Trijicon ACOGS. They use them for a reason.
The argument against them now is the so-called separation of church and state. To be clear, the First Amendment states that “Congress shall not….” A reference to Bible verse on a Rifle Scope is not Congress. Additional arguments are that Bible verses will offend Muslim sensitivities. My best response to that is, “too bad.” The wadded panty people are afraid that it reaffirms the “Crusader” image. Too bad.
This is an issue for the military to work out with Trijicon. For the sake of our troops, lets hope they don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.
Ha, good call. Win the war and sort the details out later. Trijicon is a quality product.
