"One of the most selective criteria for working there is patriotism and unquestioned loyalty to the country, this includes people who love and swear they support the Constitution."
Did you work in HR at NSA/CIA or is this how you guess things work?
- neilc 14y agoThe basic criteria for getting a job at the NSA is public knowledge (https://www.nsa.gov/careers/jobs_search_apply/hirerequire.shtml https://www.nsa.gov/careers/jobs_search_apply/hirerequire.sh...): The background investigation helps determine the applicant's honesty, trustworthiness, reliability, discretion, and unquestioned loyalty to the United States.
- dfc 14y agoI have seen NSA's recruiting information a couple times in the past. Can you highlight the bit that says which criteria is the most selective?
- igravious 14y agoStop being obtuse. unquestioned loyalty to the United States. As soon as one stops questioning ones reasoning gets selective and biased.
- dfc 14y agoWhat am I being obtuse about and why are you talking about selective and biased reasoning? The aspect of the comment I was responding to was "One of the most selective criteria." Do you know what the most selective hiring criteria is for TS/SCI work?
- anigbrowl 14y agoLoyalty and blind obedience are not necessarily the same thing. I'm fond of Carl Schurz's aphorism: “My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right.”
