      The DoD top secret clearance requires a polygraph and an extensive background check. They really don’t let just anyone join.

          I can’t speak for everyone but when I was younger (and a lot less confident) I got a job at the DoD and couldn’t get it because I couldn’t get through the polygraph. Background check (talked to everyone I have ever engaged with) was fine but I was way too unconfident / insecure to pass the polygraph. They say the polygraph is a lie detector test. It isn’t. It’s a nervousness detector test. And you lie if you’re nervous.

          For ts clearance it also needs to be renewed every few years. Which means going through the motions again:

          Some skids may make it through. But it would be surprising if there is a ufo cult running the DoD in the leadership. Which is why this should be investigated.
