It's scary what people in high positions (paid positions, no less) DON'T know about their own jobs.  Makes me shudder.  What's even scarier is that the people giving them orders don't know anything either.   

One of the most important issues that President Trump needs to address is the astronomical financial costs of the U.S. Intelligence Community and the security of the American people. The fact that many of the directors of the 17 branches of intelligence have little or no experience in intelligence is of concern.The “intelligence community” is a runaway train, an avalanche of over indulgence that runs itself, regardless of who is posturing as its director. This so called “community” is at the very heart of the deep state.
