That was my impression too after reading the Toronto Sun story, but it doesn't sound like the guy did himself any favours based on the comments in that link with the e-mail exchange. It sounded more like he figured he was "entitled" to certain considerations and payments from the government (DND). That sounds rather typical of the whole Liberal culture that has become instilled in the civil service. If he thinks that, then I figure he deserves the bad publicity.
At this point though both sides seem to be in damage control mode so now is when the spin starts and who knows what the truth is once that happens.
