[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They tend to come from upper class backgrounds (private school, foreign language fluency, trust fund, strong emphasis on public service). So that explains a lot of the superiority.[/quote] You are thinking of the FSO from decades ago. Back then they recruited from Ivies. Today it is so difficult to get a security clearance that the ranks are much less urbane than in previous decades. [/quote] Such weird classicism here. Is it possible that Government wants to recruit from all the US, and not just North East private schools? And maybe, crazy thought here, there's not an association between attending an Ivy and being able to get a security clearance. [/quote]
