One good thing I see is that Sun News does actually read comments, because shortly after posting mine they corrected the errors in the title and story.
On another note, only a $500 fine? When we were overseas, we were told that if we were caught sleeping at our post it was an automatic $3000 fine and you would be sent home immediately. I am not complaining that our potential punishment was too severe, but that his seems so light. Unless there are major mitigating factors, anyone else think he got off really easy?

TORONTO -- An RCAF master corporal has been fined $500 for falling asleep while guarding the aircraft of Prime Minister Stephen Harper and other government members during a trip to Morocco.
Master Cpl. C.J.S. Agnew was found guilty by a standing court martial on March 5 at CFB North Bay, according to documents from his court martial.
Chief Military Judge Cmdr. Peter Lamont said Agnew pleaded guilty to a charge of neglect to the prejudice of good order and discipline and can pay his fine in $100 installments.
