Don't they work for the same government you did?

Under the name of the* same government. You can’t equate 1940s US govt with today’s government. Different people different priorities different actions. Not necessarily saying good or bad one way or the other. But ‘same’ is reductionist way of interpreting the situation. There’s plenty of nuance.

I'm not exactly sure what you're getting at? (of course the literal answer is yes but that's obvious)
