Some of it actually lines up with the ethos my dad's Air Force ass tried (but failed) to instill : Honor, Integrity, Character, basically all things written on a floor in Alexandria. I could see it applying to someone who had to operate covertly. And had risk of capture. Insight role seems like a primer.
Like put a true O9A initiate into a John McCain torture cage and they might spend six years telling the Viet Cong to go fuck itself too. Or even something like The Mafia.
It's kind of an Irony they're all so outwardly anti-system.
FFS, you take a group of undercover Feds and get them together you might as well call it a nexion. Kindred honor and all. Idealized as that or the cosa nostra ethos, it is appealling.
It breeds a society that kills rats for fun, or at least thoroughly calls them out for it. Same thing done to treasonous double agents I'd imagine.
