Grinding Jesus

Stuff, NZed

Biblical citations on weapon sights used by New Zealand troops in Afghanistan are "inappropriate" and will be removed, the Defence Force says.

The Defence Force learnt of the citations when The Press contacted it yesterday.

That one deserves repeating for emphasis:

Real fuckin' observant ain'tcha, Kiwis? And I thought Marines were dumb...

I kid. To be fair, the letters are small and our DoD rocket scientists didn't see them either. Or maybe they did. There's a lotta fundies in the Pentagon that probably like that shit. Holy war, you know.

The Defence Force would talk with the US-based manufacturer and supplier to ensure future orders did not have the inscriptions, he said, and it would remove the letters from existing gunsights. (my em)

Do it the other way 'round: grind off the citations and then use the Dremel on Trijicon. Just 'til all you can see of it is the cord stickin' outta their ass oughta do it.

DoD, you can't say you don't know about this shit any more. Do what the Kiwis are doing: Grind & Ream.
