Marine Corps veteran, Franz Gayl, who blew the whistle on top Marine Corps officials for failing to quickly get MRAP vehicles to Iraq to save lives of Marines exposed to IED blasts, was reinstated as a science adviser at the Pentagon after a Navy review board overturned a Marine Corps decision to strip Gayl of his security clearances. Gayl had been suspended from his job indefinitely last year after complaining publicly about the MRAP problem and embarrassing Pentagon officials.
