Maybe you should check your history. They have been inscribing these sights since LONG before the war on terror started.

Statement from Trijicon, Inc.
Wednesday, January 20, 2010—For two generations Trijicon, a Michigan-based family owned business, has been working to provide America’s military men and women with high quality, innovative sighting systems for the weapons they use. Our effort is simple and straightforward: to help our servicemen and women win the war on terror and come home safe to their families. As part of our faith and our belief in service to our country, Trijicon has put scripture references on our products for more than two decades. As long as we have men and women in danger, we will continue to do everything we can to provide them with both state-of-the-art technology and the never-ending support and prayers of a grateful nation.
But of course, it is always about Bush, and wars on Islam - which this is not. But feel free to play into it as if you have a REAL issue to grind.
