Sea Dart Missile Firing Gone Wrong
Take note that both the gun in the background and the missile stay on target/horizon when the ship bobs in the water. I know this is very common for NAVY persons to see, but for the common guy like me, its kinda cool.

US Military Scopes Have Biblical Inscriptions on Them -- It Is Not Unconstitutional As the Story Says
U.S. Military Weapons Inscribed With Secret Jesus Bible Codes
Pentagon Supplier for Rifle Sights Says It Has 'Always' Added New Testament References

[...]
One of the citations on the gun sights, 2COR4:6, is an apparent reference to Second Corinthians 4:6 of the New Testament, which reads: "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."
Other references include citations from the books of Revelation, Matthew and John dealing with Jesus as "the light of the world." John 8:12, referred to on the gun sights as JN8:12, reads, "Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
Trijicon confirmed to ABCNews.com that it adds the biblical codes to the sights sold to the U.S. military. Tom Munson, director of sales and marketing for Trijicon, which is based in Wixom, Michigan, said the inscriptions "have always been there" and said there was nothing wrong or illegal with adding them. Munson said the issue was being raised by a group that is "not Christian." The company has said the practice began under its founder, Glyn Bindon, a devout Christian from South Africa who was killed in a 2003 plane crash.
'It violates the Constitution' The company's vision is described on its Web site: "Guided by our values, we endeavor to have our products used wherever precision aiming solutions are required to protect individual freedom."

Obama Approves $636bn Defense-Spending Bill (Better Than Expected)
President Barack Obama has signed into law a USD636 billion Fiscal Year 2010 defense spending bill. The bill funds the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan at USD128 billion.
In terms of specific funding for ground forces, the legislation provides USD6.3 billion - about USD825 million above the request - for the mine-resistant ambush-protected (MRAP) vehicle fund "in order to complete procurement" of over 6,600 new MRAP all-terrain vehicles (M-ATVs) to be used in Afghanistan.
The spending measure also includes USD5 billion for the 'Overseas Contingency Operations Transfer Fund' that is intended to help "rebalance US forces between Iraq and Afghanistan".
The US Army and US Marine Corps (USMC) are to receive an overall USD3.34 billion "to increase and improve the military's fleet of helicopters".
US Air Force (USAF) programs that avoided the fate of total cancellation, such as the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor, also fared relatively well in congressional debates over the spending legislation.
Lawmakers matched the president's request for 30 Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter aircraft budgeted at USD6.8 billion.
Aircraft procurement was the top-line item for the navy, amounting to a total of USD18 billion. That total included USD1.5 billion for 18 Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet fighters. An additional USD1.6 billion was set aside for 22 Boeing EA-18G Growlers.
The navy and the marines also secured funds for 20 F-35 Lightning IIs as part of the total USD6.8 billion DoD F-35 buy of 30 aircraft.
Lawmakers provided USD15 billion for shipbuilding programs - USD120 million over the service's request - for seven ships.
