Inactive Marine sergeant and employee of BAE Systems Dakota Meyer (see March 2011) gives two weeks’ notice over the defense contractor’s intent to sell PAS-13 thermal optical scopes to Pakistan (see April 2011 and April 29, 2011). Meyer has previously found a position at AUSGAR Technologies, where he used to work (see June 2010 - March 2011 and Before May 31, 2011). He will later be told that his rehire has been blocked by the Pentagon (see June 1, 2011). [District Court of Bexar County, TX, 11/28/2011; Wall Street Journal, 11/29/2011]
