I thought he was trying to be NYC Fireman.
Did this “writer” OLIVIA KATRANDJIAN, win her job because she was female? She has no idea how the military awards medals.
The only drinking problem he has is having a brew with obozo!
The unasked question: Why, exactly, are we selling the most advanced sniper scope in the world to Pakistan so they can turn around and give it to China and the Taliban?
I’d contribute to his legal defense fund. Semper Fi and thank you, Marine!

After all, if these advanced technologically superior scopes end up in the hands of the Tally-Ban and used against our Warriors, who should care?
Shirley not the FAR Left (Commie?) Loons at Foggy Bottom. Most assuredly not the neo-Commie, (Islamic) Appeaser in Chief. And apparently (based upon their silene) the Chair Warmers and REMF, PC, Chicken-Hawk wusses in the Pentagon.
I guess that would only leave our Military who could be put in a position of being in the "cross hairs" of those who want to kill them.
Nuttin' to see here; just move along!
This War (oops, "Overseas Military Contingency") has degenerated into an (political) exercise in futility, thus it's time to bring them ALL home and sooner, rather than later as it is not worth the lost of even ONE more of our Brave Troops.
First off, I would like to thank Sgt. Dakota Meyer for his heroism and his service to this country. Was Sgt. Dakota Meyer sure that the deal with Pakistan was not in compliance with the International Traffic in Arms Regulation? If not, the fines to be faced by BAE could be very high.
I hate to say it, but given his background, he certainly could have some mental issues. It is not uncommon for people who experience horrific things in combat zones to develop combat stress reaction (formerly “shell shock”) or PTSD. I wonder if he has been evaluated and treated?

I bet he’s one of the guys who does the voices for the Action Figure Therapy videos on GoogTube.

hate to be blunt........ alcohol knows no bounds, rich, poor, short, tall, CMOH winner, or serial killer.............
I can’t speak to the Marine Corps, but I can tell you that the Army has multiple screening processes for returning vets. I’ve lost count of the number of social worker/psychologists I’ve talked to upon redeploying, and there wasn’t even anything wrong with me!
Regardless, it’s good that the Army does these things to catch the actual at-risk guys. Hopefully the Marines do the same thing.
So I, a vet myself can't buy it but the Pak Muslims can? Something ain't right?
Between Sgt. Meyer and BAE Systems . . . . . I’ll take Sgt. Meyer’s word.
The Medal of Honor is bestowed upon an individual by the passing of a Joint Resolution in the Congress[not verified in body]. It is then presented to the recipient or, for posthumous awards, to next of kin. The President of the United States presents the medal in person, on behalf of the Congress,
The military puts someone up for the award but does not make the award.
Makes me wonder what the gentleman discovered during the course of his employ with BAE ! >PS
I’m speaking from an Army background myself, having taken training on how to recognize various combat injuries. I don’t know about the other services, but I assume they have similar programs.
I had an NCO who told me he had PTSD. He could not walk into a crowd without feeling very paranoid.
So a Marine sergeant who is awarded the Medal of Honor thinks selling some of the most sophisticated optical weapons sights to the Pakistanis is a bad idea.
The sergeant then states it publicly & you think that is evidence that he is as nutty as a squirrel turd?
I don’t buy it I smell a smear job by a weapons industry powerhouse trying to silence a critic.
