Hound in your rebuttal you actually buttress MM's argument. You caught someone "misappropriated" money, AKA stole money and was gone in 3 months. In the private sector if you catch someone stealing they are gone in 3 seconds, not 3 months. You worked in the upper echelon of the DOD. Over the years all of us government employee critics have admitted that those guys are probably a higher caliber employee. Go ahead UT into the club and clues at other agencies like HUD, energy, education and such and it is a different world than what you knew. As for compensation there have been many studies in recent years that show federal government employees are compensated the same or even above comparable private sector jobs, then you throw in benefits and they are quite well. The Peter Principle was defined because of government bureaucracy although it sometimes applies in the private sector also, especially if unions are involved.
