“Embassy personnel hang their asses out over the line and they look to the Flag”
_________________________________________

For however it helps, most Embassy and consulate personnel
are citizens of the host country.
There are relatively few US citizens working in them.

It sounds like Stevens was the only American killed.

I was referring to the US State Department personnel. Of course, when you add it all up, a lot of host country people work in an embassy. But they are not feeling quite as isolated and vulnerable, because they can walk out the gate and go home.
