According to [Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs](https://www.simplypsychology.org/maslow.html), personal safety comes before esteem. Once the immediate danger is past you can go back to selling your soul to keep your job. ---

> [@deltogre](#): > > Someone please explain to me how anyone could ever sit through that and still hold TFG harmless. As every bit of written and spoken testimony was shown, and through all the conclusions drawn from them, I could hear in the back of my head some of the responses: what-about this other thing, you can’t prove that, this is all just political, and on and on and on. If you don’t want to believe something and you aren’t committed to a love of truth, you can deny anything. ---

Fort McNair should be pretty secure against most forms of civil disorder. Probably vulnerable to being carpet bombed from the air, though.
