in an interview here has honestly no close family in the CIA, but he himself has a internal security clearing by the CIA profilers and was perfect to have someone build a PMC to emply GIs giving them tripple pay, because we cant all go NFL, NBA, NHL or NASCAR.
So, in one cosy night in the Lab someone put a seed into his mind and .... the rest is history or Benghazi 13h. The Butterfly effect applied.
CIA clearing? Well, he basically, is no racist, yet does not like browns over blonds, is of good character, but full of sterotypes and would follow orders, if anyone comes up and sais some BS about national security saving the free world without him looking through it pas the authoritarian approaching and therefore needed protection in war....indirectly. He is no bad guy, just naive and not a bit.
Come on, would you take any contract on armed missions from the CIA known that they will never tell what is going on realy? See...but going with them CIA agents is a good idea.
