Deception Perception

January 30, 2010

Some rifle parts used by the U.S. Military are really ruffling some feathers.  Gun sites, produced by the Trijicon Company in Michigan, contain biblical verses in their product code.  Things like JN812 (which is part of a longer string of tiny numbers and letters) refers to the New Testament book of John, chapter 8, verse 12.  Some soldiers are referring to these weapons as “Jesus Rifles.”  The problem stems from the military’s General Order Number One, which, in part prohibits Proselytizing while in a combat zone.  According to Wikipedia, “Proselytizing is the act of attempting to convert people to another opinion and, particularly, another religion.”  Trijicon currently holds nearly $1 billion in government contracts and recently was assigned a $660 million contract to be the sole supplier to the U.S. Marine Corps.


On military gun sites bible verses were inserted
But was this meant to have people converted?
From this tiny little code
Controversy did explode
So, was General Order Number One subverted?
