we really don't know shit here.. maybe this sole MOH winner ran through a mortar attack to save people, i am not sure the story
everything on the planet is biased. what i do know, however, is this is the first time i have heard of this story, as well as the first time i have heard of russia rearming cuba
everything is biased, but i am curious when russia became the new hope for the free world

The same story was on either CBS or ABC news sites yesterday (I forget which). They also favored the Marine in the story IMO in kind of a biased way.
It's obviously much more viewer friendly to report on the side of the MoH hero vs some arms company. (ie every news agency is biased to what the "viewers want to hear".)
While I'm sure the company involved is obviously in the wrong by taking things too far at the end, the Marine is also in the wrong as it's not up to him to try and dictate whom they can and can't sell their products to. It should of just ended with him losing his job.
btw the CBS or ABC article said the company was selling night vision optics not mortars.
