Good article. You discuss one of my points I tried to make when I worked at WHINSEC. It is not the private, sergeant or mid level officer that is causing the chaos. It is those who speak English, invited to the embassy parties, wear a coat and tie, and frankly who look and act like us and we are comfortable dealing with that steal the millions, protect the illicit business that erode security and justice. We engage with them and promote them through our relationship with them. That was my argument against reestablishing the Hall of Fame. We don’t know how, in reality, they “earned” their influential positions, but the people do. So we indirectly and unknowingly promote the behaviors we say we fight against.
