Former Senior Government Officials

The enforcer happens to be a Marine, but he is enforcing and resisting the pro-drug syndicate's forces arrayed against the PDEA which appears quite serious in curbing the drug menace to prevent our country from turning into a nation of living dead. Perhaps we should try to secure updated information that detail the extent of drug manufacturing, distribution and usage in this country, and how dangerous drugs are contributing to the rise in drug-related crimes, and to the deterioration of the nation's social character and moral backbone. Drug enforcement is a dark and dirty business and someone has to do it. How many pure-of-heart are willing to dive into that world and do what it takes to lessen the threat to our national wellbeing despite the many pitfalls to life, limb and personal liberty? I believe that Hypothesis B does not apply in this case although, of course, it is entirely possible that some in that network could think differently and may just waiting be for their moment for rent-seeking. But then again we all know that government is heavily infiltrated by all kinds of crime syndicates, including plunderous criminals in white collars. We are engaged in assymetrical warfare where the "enemy" is all around us and within our midst. There are no dividing lines. If General Santiago's judgement call is to rely on a Marine to do the dirty job, then that authoritative decision should be respected for now on the assumption that Gen Santiago is a no-nonsense upright public manager. General Santiago and Major Marcelino are standing their ground against formidable odds, including public cynicism, which is why people like them need to be encouraged and morally supported. Otherwise, he and the few who do will simply give up and say "what's the use?" For now, I would like to think that they're safeguarding the nation with the purest of intentions and, thus, have my vote of confidence. Of course, if they turn out to be moral and legal duds then they, too, will incur the people's righteous indignation.
