"What type of management expects people to risk their lives under such conditions?"
Just about every manager I ever had - especially when I had stripes on my sleeves. Very few of the bosses I've worked for had any concept of loyalty needing to be bi-directional. When the shit started hitting the fan they usually jumped behind one of us. They thought nothing of demanding we do things they had no idea in the world to do.
That's why I developed Mullins' Law: "Nothing is impossible to the one who doesn't have to DO it." There is also Chandramouli's Corollary: "Nothing is impossible to the man who does nothing."

Rank and file Border Patrol agents must understand that unless and until all “Project Gunwalker” allegations and supporting evidence are explored in full, including what role top officials in ATF and the Justice Department have played, they will continue to face additional unnecessary risks in an already dangerous job. And they will continue to perform it knowing that should tragedy befall them, the primary motivation of those who order them into harm’s way will not be, in Senator Grassley’s words, to “come clean.”
What type of management expects people to risk their lives under such conditions? What kind of representative would not make it a priority to immediately rectify things to protect those he has been tasked--and trusted--to serve?
We make people leaders for a reason: we expect them to lead. The best way to encourage Mr. Bonner to direct his union’s substantial influence toward determining the truth is for its members to let him know--in no uncertain terms-- that they expect it of him.
