Tow #28: secret servicemen

Recently, I watched a documentary on secret servicemen on netflix. The documentary was very informative and I learned a lot from it. The documentary really stressed how important the job and duties of the secret servicemen are. One of the claims that it made was saying that the job of a secret servicemen is one of the most honorable ones to have. I strongly agree with this statement based on my knowledge about the secret servicemen and the documentary.

First of all, the secret servicemen have a strict honor code and one job. Their one job is to protect the President no matter what happens. They go forth with this job knowing that they have to sacrifice themselves in order to protect the President and make sure that nothing happens to him. Risking their own safety and potentially lives (in some circumstances), in order to save the President of the United States is about as honorable as it gets. They are being completely selfless and sacrificing themselves in order to make sure that there is no harm done to the President. That takes a lot of courage and dedication.

The secret servicemen are extremely dedicated to the President and their job. Everything is kept top secret, and the secret servicemen go to big extremes to prove their dedication to the President. For example, prior to the JFK assassination, one of his secret servicemen had an argument with him about riding in an open car. This shows the dedication this secret service agent had because he knew that riding in an open car can potentially endanger the President, so he went into arguing him and advising him not to. Yes, it does not seem really respectful to argue with the President, however, this just shows this man's dedication to the President and his safety, making him more honorable than ever.

The secret servicemen also know a lot of information about the President that is not open to the public. This means that everything they know must be kept secret and to themselves. This gives them honor and an honor code to abide by because they know information that is critical to the figurehead of this country and the President relies on them to keep this information secret.

With the work and duties that the secret servicemen have to perform, they are one of the most honorable people, making their job extremely honorable to have. They dedicate themselves in order to protect the President. That takes a lot of courage for regular human beings to do.
