My wife worked on the 7th floor there less than a year ago, but moved across the street to an adjacent State Department office within her directorate. I spent eight terrible years in the Liberal Elite Echo Chamber Department of State in four different diplomatic postings. Conservatives are the enemy, the military the enemy, Christians the enemy - and if you fit all three as a reitred military person good luck. Back stabbing between friends and coworkers is so common place in that environment where every member of the foreign service spends their every moment engaged in calculations on how their next act will promote their career and advancement. State is Cesspool of hate and envy. I never worked for an Admin Officer who did not take personal perks out of the budget, bend rules for financial gain, unwarranted travel, or to advance their cronies at post. Serving is Israel was the best post posting, followed by Hong Kong and believe it or not Georgetown Guyana while dangerous and 4th world was doable... had my parachutist injury not finished me off in Rio de Janeiro, I might not have retired at Age 55 - but I am so glad to see T-Rex tear thru that concrete jungle.
If the Trump team or T-Rex contingent is reading, I would be glad to come back to DC and stay with my wife in Arlington to help drain the swamp at Foggy Bottem.

That was eye opening.
Thanks for your noble attempt. Oneh man can only do so much from the back seat. Tillerson needs to tear state down to the foundations.

What you describe is a totally dysfunctional and useless entity to anyone. It does show one thing the loyalty and honesty of liberals, there is none.
