Is Carmona telling us he sacrificed his professional values, his personal values and what he thought were the best interests of America for another paycheck?

Good thought. The temptation and ego driven status offered by holding an inside the beltway key staff or cabinet level position labors heavy on sound reasoning in my view.

Additionally, there seems to be more and more concern about a personal legacy. In terms of achievement, the POTUS, State and Defense need to be concerned. Not many others make it into the history books.

Of course, there are the "book deals" which seem to follow so WTFDIK?
