ABC is reporting that soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan have been using rifle scopes that bear coded references to Bible verses, including lines like "For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."
That verse is rendered on tiny letters on the the scopes, made by Wixom, Michigan-based Trijicon, as "2COR4:6" referring to chapter 4, verse 6 of the Second Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians.
Even though this story has been circulating around the Internet since May 2006, nevertheless, ABC just reported it today, Jan 18, 2010.

Bible verses on Trijicon - Message Boards - 2006
The message board on today's ABC's site concerning this article is full of waraholics tying to explain their love of war... trying to explain the Christian view on war. One such post:
"This is a holy war and the enemy is evil and has an evil totalitarian anti-Christian agenda. What other totalitarian regime can you think of that goes to war against civilians? Evil. It is a holy thing to go against such evil."
