Anyone in a position of power is either corrupt or assumed to be corrupt, and the assumption of corruption is as bad as the reality of it.

I spent a career carrying typically either an M16 or an M4 Carbine. An M4 Carbine fires a .223 caliber round, which is 5.56 mm at about 3000 feet per second.

The reality is when you make 'America First' a bumper sticker and pump it overseas, what you're telling them is 'America Only'.

The corrupt begat corruption.

The power never to be corrupted by power or position & easily let it go,is by learning to be a servant leader,that is by seeing any position you occupy as belonging to the people,while you are their steward.

One should become a peon rather than becoming a corrupt officer.
