5. drunken agents is inexcusable.

Sat Oct 4, 2014, 10:32 AM

Oct 2014

agents who belong on duty, but are passed out drunk in a hotel instead, and ARE NOT EVEN DISCIPLINED, LET ALONE FIRED is not excusable "humanity". it is a breach that deserves a court martial, and an instant firing.

that is what upsets me, no accountability. they are so elite they cant be "wasted" by firing them. bullshit. those agents are a cancer.
