"The scripture references are inscribed on high-powered rifle sights and are found at the end of the serial number.


One of the inscribed scriptures is II Corinthians 4:6.


"For God, who said, let light shine out of darkness, made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ."


Trijicon, the maker of the sights, admits to adding the scripture references, but says they are doing nothing wrong or illegal. The company has a $660 million multi-year contract to provide up to 800,000 sights to the U.S. Marine Corps."

This is from John Salzas catholic apologetics site on "Just War".

http://www.scripturecatholic.com/just_war.html

"The use of arms must not produce evils and disorders graver than the evil to be eliminated. The power of modern means of destruction weighs very heavily in evaluating this condition.

These are the traditional elements enumerated in what the Church calls the “Just War” doctrine (see CCC 2309). This doctrine was first introduced by St. Augustine in the fourth century, and later refined by St. Thomas Aquinas in the Middle Ages. Note well: “Just War” is war undertaken only to repel an aggressor. It is not undertaken as a “pre-emptive” measure or as a means to impose a system of government upon another nation. Such reasons cannot possibly meet the rigorous criteria of the Just War doctrine. Moreover, acts of war directed to the indiscriminate destruction of cities or vast areas with their inhabitants is a crime against God and man, which merits firm and unequivocal condemnation (CCC 2314). Since modern weapons are able to bring about such devastating effects, it is extremely difficult to justify war in the 21st century. In fact, St. Thomas More said the same thing in the early 16th century".
