Fucked. My guess is that due to all the movies and other stories given through the years most of the people who try to get into those organizations still are patriots, so if they want to make sure their personnel will not become a problem for the DS of course the best way to do that would be to make sure that the ones chosen are mostly ones who are not good quality candidates and then train them badly. Or at least make sure that they have a good selection of badly performing agents when they need them for situations like this one. DEI sounds like a good smokescreen for something like that.
