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.

I can understand his drinking, but he needs help. I had an old SGT who drank all day, every day. He only sipped and I never saw him drunk, but he kept a certain level. I asked him about it and he said it keeps the people away. I asked what people and he said the people I killed.

Yes, his concerns over the sale of these weapons should be with our government.
His lawsuit deals with the way his character was maligned by a nasty manager at BAE and not getting another job because of it.

Sorry, but I had to respond to this particular sentence. So, if the state department of this corrupt, anti-American administration says it is ok, then the owners and officers of the company have no moral obligation to do the right thing? From a strictly legal perspective you could be right, but that crutch is symptomatic of some serious moral problems that have permeated society.
