I don't know about the U.S, but in Canada, whistle blower legislation is pending to some extent, yet many civil servants won't come forward because they know it isn't worth it.

In the past people have been demoted, layed off, told to be quiet,replaced (and softer term for being fired) and if they kept their jobs after airing complaints of wrongdoing, are blacklisted with virtually no chance of advancement.

And these people and their complaints don't even come close to those serious enough to start a war.
