They are really going after this hero.

He was also denied a job with the FDNY because he was caught up in affirmative action that was giving the job away to less qualified people because of government imposed racism.

Am I "mentally unstable" if I think selling sniper technology to Pakistan is a really bad (treasonous) idea?

Morality takes a back-seat in the Arms Technology world.
Its all about the contract.

Dontcha just love these reporters, who haven't a clue about ANYTHING military, yet churn out these articles...

"Tom Grant, a retired military naval officer..."

as opposed to a civilian naval officer?

Geez...

Sounds like this might be slander and harassment. Hope he sues the pants off the Corp. that has blackballed him.

There a lot of very cruel people in the world who get off on the power to ridicule and hurt other people with a job hanging over their heads. This is what amoral humanism produces in business. There is not a void as humanists proclaim. Either a business has ethical standards or evil will fill the void.

It is absolutely shameful that we have sunk to the level of denying our greatest heroes employment because of hiring quotas or allow them to be victimized by corrupt, crooked, venal, and treasonous defense firms.

Obviously, the so-called President isn’t willing to stand up for him (what would he know about service or heroism?) but you would hope that the remaining leaders might have something to say.

I will write my Senators and Congressman about looking into this lashup and maybe if some of you did the same, we could light a fire under them all.

Semper Fi

I think he deserves the same skepticism that every other MOH recipient deserves: He should be saluted, thanked for his sacrifice, and any SOB that challenges him should be hanged.

A lady in our church who is from Kentucky near where SGT Meyer calls home says he is a fine young man from a fine family.

His protest about night vision sales is right on the money. At this point in time, the US has a huge lead in night vision and it has been said by our special operators that “we own the night”.

It would be criminal to give that capability to the enemy, and Pakistan is the enemy.

Why doesn’t he write a book? It would be very interesting to read about his life and moments up to getting the Medal of Honor. Right now he is only getting 2,000 dollars a month for the Medal of Honor so he needs to have some cash. Hopefully someone will give him a job that has some principles.
