There is an article covering FBI agent outrage over J Edgar Hoover being portrayed as gay in a movie, and this paragraph quoting an agent struck me as odd:
A closed email list for retired agents has been swamped with complaints about the movie, but agents younger than 70 or so don't seem to understand the reverence for Hoover, the president of the Society of Former Special Agents of the FBI tells theWashington Post. “Devotion is probably a good word for my generation and up,” he says. “The more recent people can’t understand why all the energy is being devoted to this when our benefits are at stake."
As I have been saying here, law enforcement is going to get nailed on their benefits. How come this agent brought it up in that context, who knows. But there you have it. At the Meiji Restoration, one day the samurai were all-powerful, the next day they were made impotent. What will happen at the American Restoration?
