My only knowledge of this case is what I read in this article, but as it stands it sounds like Sgt. Meyer is due an apology and some money to go along with it.

But that doesn’t settle the problem of selling high tech equipment to our enemies.

The State Department allowing this is insane.
We cannot trust our own Government.

Since when have we been able to trust the government. It has been more than 100 years.

It looks like these are 2 separate issues. No doubt he was brave to keep going into fire to save those afghan soldiers.

he disobeyed a direct order to save the afghanis and I know they are grateful he did.

The issue with BAE is not connected to his MOH> IF BAE can be believed there were 15 weapons sent to Paki for consideration, and allowed by the State dept. The sale did not go through and apprently the weapons were returned.
He should have gone after the Gov’t since the company he was working for was not doing anything not allowed.

One also wonders why the DOD is not looking into these better weapons and we don’t actually know they are not.

I wish he would direct his anger to where it belongs. 0dumbo admin.
He has the media’s ear and he could get the right questions asked.
