450 guns were lost in mexico. that dude kept his job. he was allowed to run the next op, where 2000 guns were lost in mexico.
To me, when a guy loses 450 guns, you don't give him the opportunity to lose 2000 guns. That's just me, though.
We don't know what crime those 450 guns were involved with - let's admit, ,F&F was rare to have a rifle with serial numbers DROPPED at scene of crime. Kinda fishy there, to be hoenst.
But back to the point, if an employee loses 450 guns, you don't trust him with 2000 more.
