Virtue isn't the biggest problem. Basic competence is the biggest problem. China doesn't allow failures like this. China fires or executes officials who fail.

The secret service is just like the rest of the federal govenment. Congress makes rules to prevent itself from doing its basic job of budgeting. All budgets are ringfenced and off-limits. Secret service requires RAPPELLING SKILLS for a 5 degree slant, then doesn't train the crews in RAPPELLING. Both made rules to prevent themselves from doing their assigned jobs. Standard non-operating procedure, SNOP.
