>and how to commit suicide.
And that's when I'd come to my senses, realize all the sweet talk they lured me in with was rubbish, and hand in my 2 second resignation notice, if an employer is going to train me on how to end my own life I'm out.
- jacquesm 7y agoSome things are worse than suicide.
- ryanmercer 7y agoWhich is exactly why I'd quit.
- ootan 7y agoClearly not cut out for that line of work...

- authoritarian 7y agoIt's the US government, so you're far more likely to have to "suicide" someone else than kill yourself
- Scapeghost 7y agoheh you were downvoted for that. Apparently someone approves of * An employer training their employees to kill themselves. * A line of work where employees may have to kill themselves. * Dying for the US government (more like actually the interests of the elites) and the "greater good". How is that different from the indoctrination of suicide bombers? Before someone retorts with "because they kill innocent civilians", do you think the CIA etc never does that?
- bitlax 7y ago> How is that different from the indoctrination of suicide bombers? Presumably the CIA mission is not dependent on the agent's suicide. This is an action taken in a worst-case scenario to avoid torture.
- macintux 7y agoRight. They’re going to be killed anyway after immeasurable misery and betraying their contacts, so best to end it themselves.
- PhasmaFelis 7y agoI don't particularly approve of anything the CIA does. I downvoted because it's pretty silly to imagine that anyone could get all the way to CIA field agent training without already knowing that the job can be gruesomely dangerous.
- jjtheblunt 7y agothat assertion in the article could be dramatic nonsense
- PhasmaFelis 7y agoI doubt anyone has ever volunteered for CIA field agent training without realizing that it's dangerous, and specifically that there's a nonzero chance of winding up in the permanent custody of extremely inquisitive men with pliers.
