Inbound missle from N. Korea alert.

[My 2 cents]

For a manager to fire a state employee for any infraction less than a felony (or a headline...) is nearly impossible and takes years to accomplish.

Right, but the manager, aware of his incompetence, could have placed him in a position where he couldn't do this kind of damage. However, I will concede that the other choices for this position may not have been any better.
