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.

I did not address the allegation that this company is selling weapons to Pakistan.

I was specifically addressing the company's stated reasons for not hiring the Marine. These happen to be consistent with a combat-related stress disorder, which is highly believable, given the Marine's background. I am an Army officer; I am trained to look for symptoms of combat injuries (physical and mental), and have encountered Soldiers who suffer from them.

Please keep in mind that I am in no way denigrating the Marine nor belittling his actions that led to his Medal of Honor award. I am concerned that perhaps he needs medical attention.
