Should he have been fired or would a lesser form of counseling been more appropriate?

Nothing should have been done to him! I'm obviously not sure of the situation, but hey unemployment ain't that bad.

I try to remember there are two sides to every story, but at the least, this is really bad optics for the company.

I am compelled to comment on this issue. Unless I am woefully wrong, the United States Code (USC) that governs U S flag protocol states that the US Flag flies at half-staff on certain holidays. Memorial Day is one of those days. This Marine was following the law. Why have we lost sight of that fact?

I think it was to be only until noon? Anyway, the company decided they wanted to get in the news....should have done it for something positive instead.
