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 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 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.
