Don't criticize the Merchants of Death
When you do they will turn on you like a stepped on snake.
A Marine sergeant who received the Medal of Honor from President Barack Obama last September for saving 36 comrades has sued his previous employer, a major weapons manufacturer, for defamation, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.Why are we doing business with BAE? The major qualification for most of their sales is the size of their bribe.
Details weren't released at the time of the original lawsuit in June, the Journal added, but Dakota Meyer filed an amended complaint on Monday in which he accuses BAE Systems of retaliation after he criticized the company for selling sniper scopes to Pakistan that he said were better than what U.S. soldiers got.
"We are taking the best gear, the best technology on the market to date and giving it to guys known to stab us in the back," Meyer wrote to his supervisor, according to the lawsuit. "These are the same people killing our guys."
Meyer says he later tried to return to a job with an earlier employer but was spurned when his BAE supervisor made false claims about a drinking problem and that he was "mentally unstable."
