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!

Gee what's the big deal?

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?

Between Sgt. Meyer and BAE Systems . . . . . I’ll take Sgt. Meyer’s word.

Dakota Meyer is still in “saving lives” mode. He reacts as he sees fit. From the article at foxnews.com

“Meyer wrote that it was “disturbing” how U.S. troops were being issued outdated equipment when better, advanced thermal optic scopes were being offered to Pakistan.”

I was just thinking about the same thing this morning while contemplating the list of supplies parents put together for their sons on the front lines. Why, WHY, do politicians allow our military to fight anywhere without the best equipment and it should ONLY be made in America. PERIOD.

Meyer’s reaction is the same as mine, and I do not have PTS. I am a Marine Mom. As to weather he drinks. Do Marines know how to use a rifle?

Good morning.

I have a question(s)...

...for objections he raised about BAE's alleged decision to sell high-tech sniper scopes to the Pakistani military.

Didn't bill clinton move the approval process for selling sensitive material/computers/technologies etc. from the State Dept to the Commerce Dept? Didn't bill clinton allow Loral and others to sell computers/material/technologies to the Chicoms?

Now the Chicoms are in space.

Indeed Nikita, we may bury ourselves sooner than you thought.
