Maybe it’s because the CIA is concentrating on recruiting perverts and leftists (actually the same thing).
And is this country still worth putting your life on the line for? The CIA serves the Deep State, not the US.
During my career at State, I was constantly accused of being in the CIA by both Americans and Local Nationals.... Of course my favoriate retorte was, I would never work for perople who lie for a living. It made my life hell, but I did what my job required to assist the Liars, but I never once thought any of them were on par with 007. American’s foreign service is full of the smartest kids in the room, but they don’t play well together; conversely, our agency folks for the most part are too diverse and woke. Spys should never run around thinking they are cool. The best and the brightest are ate alive by the racists and back biters.
