Reply to "Lessons and Blame from and at Waco and the Branch Davidians"

I don't know how much things have changed over the years but I used to work for the Federal Government, at TVA, and after 4 1/2 years went to the private sector for the remainder of 42 + years and while I have a few regrets about that I do believe the benefits and advantages lie with the Federal Government jobs especially if you have military service in your background.  

If there is accountability in the Federal Government then it's basically when you are politically active and happen to be active against the political party that happens to be within power at the time.  Other than that failure to do your job accurately or efficiently has no penalties to it.  There is very little incentive or wasn't many years ago.   It has been a long time and granted things may have changed in some areas of Government work but I don't know those areas if they exist.  I tend to agree with 1130 about the advice but also realize others have far more intimate knowledge than I do, about the Government, given the time I've been away and in private industry.
