Well an update on this one.....got this info from a friend.
Looks like Trijicon backed down....I have to say I am somewhat disappointed...
ABC reports:
A Trijicon press release stated that the company would: "Remove the inscription reference on all U.S. military products that are in the company's factory that have already been produced, but have yet to be shipped" and "Provide 100 modification kits to forces in the field to remove the reference on the already forward deployed optical sights."
The company also said it would ensure future procurements from the Department of Defense are produced without scripture references, and offer foreign forces that have purchased the products "the same remedies."
PS. hey Crux, that other post was a compliment by the way...

Heh I saw the compliment and thanks 
Yes I expected Trijicon to do just that. Like I said, when you have a customer with that much power politically and economically you can find yourself out of business or worse quickly if you aren't accommodating.
Many government contracting actions are rife with waste, inattention to detail, unrealistic expectations and constant scope creep. Sometimes it seems like they want everything, don't want to pay for it, change their mind constantly, and often never really knew what they wanted in the first place, but mostly wanted it NOW.
That's expensive my friends, but industries suck up the accusations about contractors "over budget and over schedule" even though it's often a result of what I mentioned above because it doesn't pay to embarrass such a large and powerful customer by saying "you completely changed your mind on what you wanted half way through, and you didn't understand that you can't just turn off a production line for 2 years and switch it right back on again without incurring a cost, and..." the list goes on.
Anyway, I'm going to go see if I can score me a TA11H that still has markings, because I'll be surprised if Trijicon still puts the markings on anything after this. That's simply because it's more efficient to build them all the same way. It will be a nice element of the collection if I can score one with the markings, something I'll enjoy handing down to my son.

If it was my company, I would mark them "inside" where it is not visible.
