There are two problems with your argument. You’re trying to reason from a specific case to the general and your specific case isn’t even that great. Keith Alex

There are two problems with your argument. You’re trying to reason from a specific case to the general and your specific case isn’t even that great.
Keith Alexander retired from active duty 10 years ago. He’s now, currently, on the Amazon board of directors. Does this make every Amazon employee culpable for his actions?
Generally speaking, yes, it is not uncommon for leadership to contract with Saudi Arabia. I did not and continue to not offer any opinion about this nonsequitur. I do not think it’s at all common for them to share secrets. Further, I have no idea what this has to do with the morality of secrets as whole.
- vintermann 3y agoI gave an example, I did not "reason from a specific case". The point is not that your organization gets "tainted" by Alexander's actions. You must answer for your own sins, whoever your leader is. The point is that he was always that sort of person, and that's the sort of people who become your leaders. Yes, it's a problem that completely amoral people get high positions in business too, but Amazon board members are not quite as powerful as NSA chiefs - among other things, because Amazon is not as good at convincing its workers to identify with it, like you identify with your mil-int employers.
