The problem with a hierarchy is that when it gets deeply corrupted, and you are at the top, you become the bottom very quickly. This explains the complete lack of accountability by the Biden gov and US military.
A good hierarchy is one of transparent accountability to the inner circle. That conversation auto corrects small errors. Thus, the message can fan out loud and clear across the organization.
Once it’s corrupt you see the lack of trust manifest. Now you gotta lie and cover up things. Not because you are trying to right a wrong, but because you have found yourself in the prisoner’s dilemma.
If you draw parallels between the weak government of Afghanistan that collapsed to what the current government of the US looks like, you will eerily similar traits. They are obvious NOT the same. But they share many common traits.
The sign of a healthy institution is that it contains pride built into the stones that were laid in its foundations. You walk in and breathe the air of the great previous generations who gave you the keys.
Out of a sense of duty and respect you should see tons of resignations. But the US government hasn’t engaged in this behaviour at all. So far, lies and blame games. Nothing more. We wait and see. Kabul falling is bad, Washington failing is a catastrophe.
