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.

In a lawsuit recently uncovered, Meyer?s attorneys say that shortly after joining the staff of military contractor BAE, the soldier became concerned over the company?s contract with the country of Pakistan. BAE, says Meyer, was selling advanced war weaponry to Pakistan, and as a former fighter of the Taliban in nearby Afghanistan, Meyer was concerned over what the artillery could do in the hands of insurgents.
