everything they do is to serve the GOVERNMENT themselves, not the United States.
FIFY. In my experience, these "senior leader" types love the government because their position within it affords them power and prestige. As you say, they don't give two shits about the US, but I'll go even further and say they don't even give two shits about the agency they work for except to the extent that it serves as a vehicle to advance their own power and self-interest.
What is truly fascinating to me is that most of these people expose themselves for what they are fairly early in their career, yet no one seems to stop them.
