They are accountable. They cannot be fired without cause (in general), but they can be fired.

Those people are professionals with no axe to grind. They just do their jobs, regardless of whom is in power. They were hired because they had the necessary qualifications for their jobs, not because they ticked "D" or "R" on an application. And not because they knew someone who knew someone. I went through OPM before entering grad school. The applications are very impersonal, and you didn't get to talk to any real person. You just mailed it in.

They were going to make me a military cartographer, but I opted for grad school instead. Otherwise my next step would have been some security clearances.
