Medal Of Honor Recipient Files Lawsuit

{San Antonio, Texas}...Marine Sgt. Dakota Meyer, originally from Kentucky, who received the Medal of Honor in September, two years after he saved 36 lives during a six-hour ambush in Afghanistan, has filed a defamation lawsuit  in Texas, alleging his former employer, BAE Systems OASYS Inc., ruined his chances at landing a new job by telling a prospective employer that he was a poor worker during a three-month stint earlier this year, while ridiculing his Medal of Honor, calling him mentally unstable and suggesting he had a drinking problem. BAE hired Meyer in March, but Meyer says he became dismayed in April upon learning that BAE had pursued sales of weapons systems to Pakistan, and he sent an email to his supervisor expressing his disapproval. Meyer wrote that it was "disturbing" how U.S. troops were being issued outdated equipment when better, advanced thermal optic scopes were being offered to Pakistan. According to the lawsuit, Meyer wrote in the email, "We are simply taking the best gear, the best technology on the market to date and giving it to guys that are known to stab us in the back." The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.
