One clue about deciphering the swamp. The longer the title, the less you should be impressed. Titles that matter are Secretary, Director, President, Commander. Anything longer and the incumbant cannot even explain to zirselves what ze do, much less can ze explain it to anyone else.

Then you get down to staff scientist, program manager, engineer, special agent, or some such and now you are at the working level professionals - the folks that actually do anything, to the extent that anyone in the swamp does anything.

Everything else, and that is about 90% of the swamp is just useless churn.
