Casey James Fury simply didn't want to be at work, and in the process cost the Navy nearly a half-billion dollars and one attack submarine.
Fury admitted to setting fire to the USS Miami, a nuclear sub, in May 2012 while it was in dry dock.
Fury also admitted to starting a second fire at the dry dock three weeks later, according to federal court documents.
In both cases, he told investigators that he started the fires because he was having extreme anxiety and was trying to get out of work, according to federal documents.
On Tuesday, the Navy announced that despite the demand for attack submarines being "as strong as ever," the Miami is being inactivated. The reason: Under sequestration, the federal government's forced budget cuts, the Navy simply can't afford to make the repairs.

He got his “out of work” wish.
What’s mind-boggling is the 17-year sentence. He should have gotten life without parole.
He got his “out of work” wish.
Maybe he can use the same method to get out of prison.
Once they figure out he was the victim they’ll probably overturn it. After all, he was having anxiety issues. Probably over some underlying self esteem problems or maybe his girl/boyfriend was mad at him. Whatever, it wasn’t REALLY his fault. He didn’t do that. No. Somebody else did that.
I guess they will take his security clearance away then.
Should been shot.
He admitted setting fires on a Navy Ship,
so the Hasan Brigade of the USN gave him
MATCHES and said,
“Come on down, and do it again.”
I’d prefer life without parole, to be served at hard labor. Karma is a bitch....
Unless they still have yardarms?
Mindboggling indeed!
China or Russia would pay millions of dollars, spend years of time, occupy entire offices and countless agents of their secret services to have the opportunity to sabotage a US nuclear sub.
And here an American does it because he was “anxious about work”
islamist facilitator, as are most criminals.
How about keelhauling under an aircraft carrier?
Is mister Fury a union man? If so how is getting out of work a problem?
He is a traitor in a time of war. shoot him out of a torpedo bay.
How about welding a post on the bow of another sub, tie him to it, and going on a full speed ahead cruse. Diving just enough to think he’s going down, then resurfacing. After a few days of this, load him in a torpedo tube and press the button. How about that? On live TV too. Hassen can ride along too just sewn in a pig carcass. After Hassen gets air dropped on Mecca from 30,000 feet
He should have been executed.
“...Fury also admitted to starting a second fire at the dry dock three weeks later...”
How did he have access to the dock three weeks after torching the Miami? He should have been arrested three weeks earlier and thrown in prison. Someone dropped the ball on that one.
” Under sequestration, the federal government’s forced budget cuts, the Navy simply can’t afford to make the repairs.”
Bull. Under sequestration, there are no budget cuts. Just a reduction in the annual rate of growth.
Union guy?
