The epaulets.
Interesting. Also brings up a new-to-me twist on the Project 2025 plan to revamp our federal agencies’ staffing, filling them with toadies. When I contracted with the Dept. of Energy, we’d often lose a few staffers when we had natural disasters (hurricanes, etc.) requiring FEMA deployment because the way it works is federal employees working at DOE and other agencies can volunteer to do a “detail” supporting the disaster zone(s) work. These are generally the employees with administrative, legal or other expertise. Just yet another way P2025 will cause unnecessary pain and suffering, if those positions are filled with incompetent people.
