I think we can all agree at this point that the "FTL Neutrino" claim was wrong - but scientists need the freedom to be wrong once in a while, even in a big way. Without it, they might be afraid to make the kind of leaps of insight that one needs to keep science advancing. It follows that this person shouldn't have lost their job just for being wrong. Now, if there's clear evidence that he was stealing money, that's something else.

Working in a war zone might sound exciting, but even if you never see combat, there are bad guys out there trying to kill you. All. The. Time. This is why a lot of non-combat veterans end up with PTSD. I frankly don't think that's worth the paycheck. If you're looking for adventure, you can get more than enough for a lifetime working in Europe or Asia in places far away from any war zone.
