Even when it quite possibly (for all he knew at the time) could have
resulted in the unnecessary death of a civilian?
I dunno, at my job, if I screwed up where a customer got ****ed off or
something I'd expect a stern talking to and maybe a couple days off. If
it resulted in someone's death, I'd *expect* to get fired, and indeed it
would be inevitable as the company would want to minimize its exposure
to lawsuits. Tenure is irrelevant - and that's the way it *should* be.
