If there is a type of ethics clause or objectional conduct clause in her contract, her firing could be legal. Does she have the right to flip off a member of the National Guard? Yes. Does the employer have a right to terminate her employment based on her conduct, IF an objectional conduct clause or similar clause is in her contract? Also yes.

If there is no such clause, then she should appeal her termination. As she's a federal employee, I'm going to assume she's in a union. She should talk to her steward.
