You don't think $40,000 is a mite steep for the crime of vandalizing a calendar?

Not for vandalizing a moose-limb calendar.

6 months without pay is not harsh. After all, we're talking about a man in a sensitive national-security position, displaying a total lack of judgement and propriety. In a private corporation, this would be grounds for termination.

Wow! I didn't realize the SS made so much. (80k a year)

Especially when viewed against the FBI's standards. They can shoot Boy Scouts in the face, murder mothers who are holding infants, and frame innocent men for murders and get no punishment at all.

Still one has to wonder if he would have gotten as stiff a punishment if he wrote objectionable phrases on a Christian's calendar during a search.

It'd be steep if it was mere vandalism (i.e., a private citizen doing it).

But this is an armed agent of the State. (I think the legal term is "acting under the color of law.") Those who enforce the Law must obey the Law; they should be punished far more severely than private citizens.
