A dear friend's son, who joined the service out of high school, went to college for a while but didn't graduate.

Because of some of his connections still involved in "military work" interested him, with "his skills," and he wound up working in one of alphabet agencies. He has been very successful in his work and now works for a "private contractor!"

I would never think of him as sinister merely because he has done some work for our country!

We need not label people merely because they have backgrounds in "security."

Once upon a time, the FBI used to prefer young Mormon men because of their "clean backgrounds! Hardly sinister.

I have no doubt that 95% of our military & gov't security professionals are above reproach, as I'm sure your acquaintance is. However, I reserve the right to have suspicion when I believe there are some who are not acting in my (Country's) interest.

Maybe the Gov't preferred Mormons because they come from an insular culture
