Quoted: The funeral stunt earned the protesters a coveted “political protest” arrest — apparently it’s now illegal to protest anything for political reasons — and your favorite Marine was also charged with “Unlawful Assembly — Loud and Boisterous,” despite the fact that he was silent during the performance.
Quoted: And while right-wingers had no problem mocking the mother of a soldier killed in Iraq, they have a tougher time mocking an actual living Marine male veteran who actually fought in the war they just write about on their blogs.
Quoted: All the chickenhawks will have permission to call him a traitor or whatever on the blogs and talk radio if he suddenly becomes dishonorably discharged, that’s the point!

Ling's mistake - taking the option to "quit" and save face rather than be "fired". Getting fired you have the option to sue the company for wrongful termination and seek damages. If you quit - it's all over. Given the short duration before a major stock award that was due him, it seems to me he would have a case that Facebook a) had no compelling reason to fire him and b) was acting in bad faith with respect to his original employment offer.
