Subordinates, How Not to Treat Your
As regular readers know, I read the Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times every morning because I secretly find the world of finance to be as fascinating as defense policy. And every once in a while, something I read in the business pages has relevance to what is discussed on this blog.
As people smarter than me have already pointed out, it does not appear the SEC has much of a case against Goldman Sachs. The investigation into potential wrong-doing, though, has shed a less than flattering light on Goldman's organizational culture and business practices. And something I read on Page C5 of the Journal this morning struck me.
On Saturday, Goldman released batches of emails by Mr. Tourre to girlfriends that revealed doubts about some mortgage securities issued by the company and an occasionally dismissive attitude toward the investors buying them.
Goldman also released translations of portions of emails that originally were in French, including some messages with details about Mr. Tourre's personal life.
The scope of the released documents led to widespread speculation that Goldman was seeking to make more-senior executives who also are caught in an uncomfortable political and public-relations spotlight look better by comparison to the 31-year-old trader.
This is the kind of thing that makes me thank the Lord that I go to work every morning and answer to a retired U.S. Army officer and a former Marine Corps officer as my supervisors. Because I know that neither John nor Nate will ever throw me under the bus in the way that it appears some of Goldman's executives are throwing this French bond trader under the bus. In fact, on multiple occassions over the past year, I have either offended someone or written something outrageous on this blog, and John and Nate have had my back every time, earning my loyalty in the process. Where did they learn to protect their subordinates?
The U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps, of course. It's true that we have all seen field grade officers allow a junior officer to take the fall for something, and I know some guys at Goldman who seem to be top-flight men of character. (Some of them, not surprisingly, are former military officers themselves.) But reading this article in the Journal this morning made my stomach turn on the Green Line into work, because it goes completely against the ethic we learned as young officers. Protect and mentor your subordinates. They will, in turn, reward you with their loyalty and hard work. This is smart advice that applies as equally to business as it does to military organizations, and you wonder if management at Goldman couldn't use some remedial training from the gang at MCB Quantico.

PS - Do you think, in a similar situation, that Fick and Nagl would do the same for you?
PPS - Somehow my postscript question seems especially appropriate as the premiere of the A-Team draws nearer.

I was thinking that since Nagl is older and presumably wiser, he’d be Hannibal, loving it when a plan comes together; and Fick, being more handsome than the man who played him on TV, would be Face. Then again, Nagl is the man who told Mullaney that with regards to women, Oxford constitutes a target-rich environment, so maybe Fick rather than Nagl should indeed be Hannibal, and Nagl rather than Fick really should be Face. )Casting directors have tough jobs (actually, they really do, but discussing that would only ruin the levity of this post)). Needless to say, I envision you as Murdock – an easy call.

The currency of loyalty at
The currency of loyalty at Goldman Sachs, revolving door military officers or not, is in bonus checks. Loyalty is, in other words, a tradeable commodity, and the balance sheet is in dollars and cents. The bonuses are there to keep the mid-level execs from squealing on their bosses, in other words.
However, if Goldman execs think that a sacrificial goat is needed in order to spare their own precious hides, they'll rope the goat and tie it to a tree - look, tiger, there's your meal!
In military terms, this is like sending a few of the troops under your command off to create a diversion, in the full knowledge that they'll be slaughtered, all so that you can escape without having to do any fighting yourself.
However, the top-level Goldman Exec's true loyalty is to their major shareholders - who appoint the Board, etc. Here's the $2 billion cutoff:
AXA - $4,152,655,256
STATE STREET CORPORATION - $3,380,094,068
WELLINGTON MANAGEMENT COMPANY, LLP - $2,911,679,736
VANGUARD GROUP, INC. - $2,840,257,040
BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. - $2,813,108,918
FMR LLC - $2,077,084,369
Now, I know - the shareholders supposedly got screwed over by Goldman Sachs, right? Well - only then pension funds and small investors, not the funds of the uber-rich. There's historical precedent, too... Notice that Janus Capital, for example, was the central holding company that ran Enron - and likewise, when Enron crashed, the top shareholders were allowed to dump their shares, but the Enron pension funds and employees were not allowed to - and then came the massive paper shredding exercise in the corporate offices and at Arthur Anderson.
The reason that there is no real case against Goldman, of course, is that they took a page from Ken Lay's playbook - when you want to do something illegal, you get your paid-off politicians to change the law so it's no longer illegal.
Didn't you ever watch Syriana?
Lawyer: "Dalton is not enough for them."
Oil Exec: "I would be real careful. If you dig a 6 foot hole you will find 3 bodies. You dig 12 foot and maybe you will find 40. Christ! China's economy isn't growing as fast as it could. Because they can't get all the oil they need. And I am damn proud of that fact."
Lawyer: "We need another body, Mr. Pope."
Oil Exec: "What if it involves somebody at your firm? Someone way the hell above you? We would have to have an understanding."
Lawyer: "If he is as big as you say and when he goes down the merger will be approved."
Oil Exec: "Like that?"
Lawyer: "We're looking for the illusion of due-diligence, Mr. Pope. Two criminals successfully prosecuted gives us that illusion."
Oil Exec: "Call me Jimmy."

@AM:
Your Ranger RGT offered up Lt. Uthlaut as the scapegoat for Pat Tillman’s friendly-fire death and kicked him out of the RGT (by the way, Uthlaut was hit in the face by a SAW round during the incident). Uthlaut was no slouch, he was the First Captain of his West Point class, and had vehemently protested the stupid orders from the TOC to split his platoon.
His superiors? All promoted. The RGT commander, Col. Nixon got his star. The XO (“The Lost Kauz” in a book about the Surge) who led the 15-6 “investigation” was promoted to Full Bird. And General McChrystal (who was in charge of fabricating Tillman’s Silver Star and personally led the cover-up on the ground in Afghanistan)? Of course, he got his fourth star.
What about your Ranger values “to never fail a comrade” and Nate’s “sember fi”? Just more hypocritical BS! At least when it comes to having the back of your fellow Ranger Pat Tillman and his mother Mary Tillman (“From the time I was very little, I was aware of my father’s pride in being a Marine. When I was three years old … I would stand between my parents, feet digging into the soft leather of the big front seat, and sing the entire Marine Corps Hymn at the top of my lungs” from her “Boots on the Ground by Dusk”).
Last year(“Confirm Him” 6-02-09) you wrote in your blog, “The bottom line is, nothing is ever going to heal the wounds inflicted on the Tillman Family … And while I have nothing but respect for the Tillman Family…, their personal grief should not be a veto on the nomination of the man [General McChrystal] … These are serious questions and are more important than either the death of Pat Tillman or the alleged abuse of detainees.”
I liked both you and Nate better when you were LTs. Now, you’re both just a pair of Beltway “suits.”

I have no dog in this fight, but I would really like to see the reply to that.
That's the least of
That's the least of Goldman's sins. Some predict their fall, but with their connections in the last 3 administrations and Congress I wouldn't be on it. They are all over both parties.
I'm for bringing back the pre-FDIC system of Dual Liabilities. That means Management and the shareholders in Banks have their own personal property at stake for the Sheriffs Auction. That and letting the market take these pricks down is still the best solution. Jail looks good as well.
AM - don't confuse criminal enterprises with the Army or the USMC. In criminal enterprises there will nearly always be a victim, particularly if they are dumb enough to leave an obvious trail. Dutch Schultz, Lepke, Joseph Colombo...
What Congress is doing today will institutionalize To Big To Fail. 50 Billion is just a tripwire, the 2008 Bailout all considered put the taxpayers on hook for $20 Trillion. TARP Truth
What we have is government by Control Fraud, with Wall Street merely acting as the financial partner.
Control Fraud means the CEO of a Company or the Government are using the Corporation or the Government as both a weapon to rob and a shield from accountability. Key to the term - it can't happen without the CEO or Heads of State running it, they are in a unique position to wield the institution as weapon or shield.

My E18's outfit was there,
My E18's outfit was there, he wasn't. He was in the hospital after a jeep dropped on him. That laid him up for about six months.
He asked me what I would do if I was there. We talked about it for a while. He pretty much summed it up. It was a war zone, you can be shot for not following orders. Had to think about that for a while......
My reply,....."One of those things that you can not pass judgement on. You had to be there." I can not find fault in a person unless I walk in their footsteps. I find it hard to damn grunts, it is a bitched-up life. Calley took the rap, you're right.
Make you cry somemore....AIG was the one that paid off a lot of the derivatives that the Goldman guys were so excited about. AIG is not a bank or FDIC insured. TARP paid the bill ($180B, only about 30B has been returned). That is not the end of it. Fannie and Freddie are the train wrecks(about $500B) and that could have been stopped.
What's more important -
What's more important - loyalty or honesty?
It's a difficult moral choice in the institutional world - and there was some neocon PR flack running around a few years ago trying to convince everyone that loyalty to the organization was more important than the rule of law - in the Mafia, it's called Omerta.
Consider the FBI - here's David Vise writing on about their KGB mole:
On January 12, 1976, Robert Philip Hanssen began sixteen weeks of intensive training at the FBI Academy in Quantico. As a new recruit, he pledged his loyalty, a quality valued within the Bureau above all else.
And JE Hoover?
But he also built the FBI’s reputation for “Fidelity, Bravery and Integrity” in part by squelching publicity about corruption or rogue agents. And while the FBI focused on easier targets including bank robbers, it avoided going after organized crime aggressively, allowing it to flourish for decades without Hoover so much as acknowledging the Mafia’s existence.
See Public Enemies.
The Tillman cover-up - the conversion of a fratricide to a heroic death - is par for the course. Those who participate in such cover-ups are rewarded for their loyalty to the organization, is all.
I bet you guys don't know how Boris Yeltsin began his climb to the top of the Soviet / Russian political pyramid, do you? He was the party boss in a place called Sverdlovsk in 1979 - and they had an anthrax munitions factory there, and a worker their forgot to replace the air filters - so spores were pumped into the air, and they killed a few hundred people (workers at a nearby factory on the night shift). Yeltsin - with the aid of the KGB and the Soviet Academy of Sciences - conducted a model coverup (just infected meat, folks!) that wasn't blown until Alibek & Pasechnik defected to the U.S. and Britain - and Yeltsin was no longer a regional party apparatchik, but rather a rising star.
Welcome to Brezhnev's America, folks. Loyalty to the organization is now a moral virtue, and loyalty to the Constitution and to the rule of law is grounds for dismissal.

Why didn't Fick play himself
Why didn't Fick play himself on "Generation Kill" (HBO)? Like Rudy Reyes. Instead they had that homo looking guy play Fick. Does Fick ever prance around CNAS with nothing but his Marine UDT/Recon swimming trunks? Be careful what you wish for, now that DADT has been lifted, because Fick is the reason I joined the Marines. It's raining men, halelujah!!!
A.E. - You're very lucky to
A.E. - You're very lucky to have such a good employer and supervisor's. Be thankful.
The reason I say this is, if you were still working for the U.S. Army, you would happen to notice that the amount of OIG - Reprisals Commercials on Armed Forces Network Television is quite alarming these days.
What's the cause for this?
Commissioned and Non-Commissioned Officers in the U.S. Military and Supervisors in the Executive Branch of Government, in an effort to protect themselves, for situations where they have participated in and/or had knowledge of illegal activities including: violence, embezzlement, fraud, abuse of authority, participation in a hostile work environment / hazing, etc... -- they are using Command Directed Evaluations (CDE) to silence their victims and/or witnesses.
You ask what a CDE is?
http://www.behavioralhealth.army.mil/provider/cde.html
In accordance with (IAW) DODD 6490.1, commanding officers (CO) may direct Soldiers to undergo a MH evaluation. A CDE is appropriate whenever the CO believes that the Soldier's mental state renders them a risk to themselves or others or "may be affecting their ability to carry out the mission".
Many times these predatory individuals will use verbal or written communication, from the victim or witness, that could be perceived as threatening - perhaps even add their own language/words to the document (altering it), making it sound threatening. They will in turn use this communication to order a "CDE" to buy time, as a disciplinary tool, or as a reprisal for the individual's attempt or intent to make a lawful communication about a crime.
DoD has in turn made new regulation making it "improper to refer a Soldier for a CDE" - to buy time, as a disciplinary tool, or as a reprisal for the individual's attempt or intent to make a lawful communication (see DODD 6490.1, paragraphs 4.3.1-4.3.5).
Notice the language used was "improper" and not "illegal"?
Why would DoD only take steps to protect those who are victims of reprisals and not write a law to prosecute those who are using Command Directed Evaluations to silence victims and/or witnesses?
AE, just because you have good supervisor's today, doesn't mean you won't meet someone in your future, who will be out to torpedo you. Bad people are out there... There are lots of sharks and barracudas in Washington D.C. and I hope you stay inside your submarine, protected from them.
I believe Robert Baer dealt with a situation similar to the one above. Anyone have any information on Baer?
In the old Soviet Union, the
In the old Soviet Union, the critics would be committed to the state psychiatric evaluation centers - and they had a point - anyone gutsy enough to tell their upper-level apparatchiks off had to be a little crazy, right?

If you are missing Goldman Senate hearings you are missing out..best TV ever...quote Sen McCaskill "shit" (from GS description of products sold) "Bookie", "how much was your Vig"..

And yet Goldman ended up 1.01$. There all behind the financial "reform" BTW. Why not? It institutionalizes TBTF and knocks out the small fry competition. As GS said "we partner with regulators". LOL so hard I'm ;`(

Exum, I enjoy your blog and
Exum,
I enjoy your blog and turn to it often. Both informative and entertaining. I appreciate that you are an admirer of BG John "Mick" W. Nicholson, Jr. He has made what I believe is a positive impact on our effort in Afghanistan. Having said that, he threw Maj Galvin under the bus. And, in a very real way, he threw LTG Kearney under the bus (and Chris Haas as well). Col Pihana also threw LTG Kearney under the bus (but we're talking USA and USMC here, not USAF). Stand by for more. Eventually, the Court of Inquiry will undergo a proper security classification review and a successful FOIA will bring the facts to light. USMC and USA senior leadership will not look good and it will escape any real media notice. But it will mean a lot to the troops! The truth is sometimes a painful thing, especially when our expectations are so high. Still, I'd trust a Quantico or Army OBC (and yeah, ok, West Point too) product over any GS guy/gal.
Normally, I don't participate in blogs. This one just frosted me. Too close to the subject, I suppose.
In my previous post I
In my previous post I mentioned the Ranger RGT XO(“The Lost Kauz”in a book about the Surge)who did the 2nd "investigation" into Pat Tillman's friendly-fire death.
I just stumbled upon a link to that book, thought I'd post it if anyone was interested:
“The Good Soldiers” by David Finkel, 2009. A Washington Post writer goes inside the 2007 surge with an infantry unit out of Fort Riley, Kan., under the command of Lt. Col. Ralph Kauzlarich.
Wasn't Kauzlarich the one
Wasn't Kauzlarich the one who attacked the Tillman family for their atheism? I guess it's not the same thing as throwing a subordinate under the bus, but it was still pretty scummy.

Here's one more quote from another Ranger to throw out into the blogosphere. Speaks for itself.
From "Where Men Win Glory, Jon Krakuer (p. 328):
“From the moment you first join the Ranger Battalion, it’s ingrained in you that you will always do the right thing. … Then you see something like what they’re doing to Pat – what officers in the Ranger Regiment are doing – and you stop being so naïve.
The only two times where I personally was in a position to see where the Army had the choice to do the right thing or the wrong thing, both times they chose to do the wrong thing. One of those times was what they did to Pat. It made me realize that the Army does what suits the Army. That’s why I won’t put that uniform back on. I’m done.”

Andrew;
How true, I work in the corporate DoD world, and for the most part worked for coroproate types. It was almost taken for granted that the higher up you go the more CYA is practiced. I then went to work for a firm that had a guy tht really made me nervous at the top, and was one reason I left. However, in my short tenure with the company none of the sh** ever flowed past my boss' level. When I announced my departure, and was thanking him for the opportunity, I told him how grateful I was for him stopping the flow of BS down to me. He was a retired Army officer and didn't even flinch and said, well, that's my job. What an eye opener for me, and how refreshing.
