A Hero's Hero ...


DAKOTA L. MEYER
UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS

Sgt.Dakota L. Meyer- MOH.jpg



SighAccording to the citation on the award, this noble, young man went to astonishing lengths to help his fellow troops.  He disregarded orders to remain at a safe distance from the ambush and proceeded to save the lives of 36 fellow Marines, soldiers and Afghani military members.

".. he disregarded orders to remain safe" is key tho this story.

Less than a year after leaving the Corps, Sgt.Meyer went to work for BAE Systems,  a British company with extensive U.S. operations.  When he learned that BAH was planning to sell high-tech rifle sniper scopes to the Pakistani military,  he objected.  The company were not amused. Meyer decided to leave to work for another defense contractor when  BAH retaliated.   His supervisor effectively blocked his hiring by making supposedly false claims that he was a drunk and had a mental condition.

Yesterday the slandered hero filed a defamation lawsuit.  This, ladies and gentlemen, is a hero, and a stand-up guy for his nation's interests,  [Decorated Marine Sues Contractor]

I've read elsewhere that Robert Mc Creight, the supervisor at BAE who disparaged Dakota, belittled his Medal of Honor award and torpedoed his chances for future employment, is a former Marine himself... and a sniper to boot. Mr McCreight may very well possess the requisite skill set that will enable him to soar like an eagle in the corporate world and Dakota may end up digging ditches, but the big difference is that Dakota will be doing it with his dignity and honor intact.

Excellent work on the photograph, by the way. The truth of the matter is that Chump in Chief doesn't deserve to occupy the same room as Dakota.

Our European "Allies" have been selling hi tech to our enemies for decades. Steyr .50 cal rifles to various Muslim countries for instance. Combine those with IR scopes...

Because God is in heaven that isn't going to happen.
