Similar things are happening at the State Department. Trump's budget calls for a ~30% reduction, the professional staff is being ignored and shut out of policy by Tillerson (and Trump), veteran high-level talent is leaving, and hiring programs have been stopped - they are even reneging on people already in the programs. Imagine if you read about that happening at an SV company ... except at the State Dept, the stakes are war and peace, freedom and oppression.
