The SS has probably relaxed the stringent qualifications to suite 0bama. I think he prefers black agents around him. Just my opinion.
I hadn't thought of that angle, but this is the first Secret Service scandal I remember and I have to wonder if morale and esprit de corps [corpse?] have deteriorated during the current administration. Sure looks like it.
I use to work in the military side (communications) at the House House. Be advised this was 20-30 years ago; both the Secret Service and the military people had some HIGH standards to meet to even work there. I have talked to some others that use to work there too. It would seem that “diversity” has made its arrival in both areas. I would like to know the make up of those caught in this little episode. Just have to wonder how many Amish are among the accused.
In spite of what people think about the glamor of the job, it really is not a good life, particularly for married folks. Many agents end up divorced, because they spend so much time away from their families. For many years now, the service has had trouble keeping agents because of the lousy working conditions. I have heard that there is about a 3-way split between single guys, married men who do not cat around while away, and married men who do cheat on their spouses.
Look for this to get worse unless the agency can address some of the problems.
