Home sick, I’m listening to NCIS on USA. It’s the episode when Gibbs’s father has died and he is [del]arrogantly foolishly[/del] in the incidents nphase of grief. insisting that he can work the case of the week anyone. He just mouthed off to Vance, who, in a Jobian display of patience and Jonathanian expression of friendship. refrains from having security escort him off the Navy Yard. I was going to say that Vance should have fired Gibbs in that scene, but as I typed the words I realized I was wrong. Gibbs’s irrationality was understandable under the circumstances. But there’s plenty of other incidents in which he was incredibly insubordnate and should have been told to turn over his badge and clean out his desk What’s your favorite Eyes still suck and surger is a while off, so I’m not even trying to fix typos. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/if-you-were-ncis-director-how-many-times-would-you-have-fired-gibbs-by-now/767707)._
