The reality, I will post below shows how low these State Department people are on the Dems priority list to survive in situations like this.
We have one liberal family on both my side and my wife’s side.
This couple spent about 10 years as Peace Corp people in truly $h$$hole countries. About 20 years ago they went to a NGO working with the various embassies in $h$$holes around the world. They even adopted young kids of color from another country.
Their latest assignment is in a $h$$hole third world Country with the State and working out of the Embassy. They truly believe in what they are doing, and they have voted for democrats since they got out of liberal colleges like their liberal friends at the Peace Corp and the State Department.
To summarize: Most if not everyone attached to any State Department Embassy are 100 % liberals, and they hate Trump and us.
That does not excuse the any possible/probable harm that might come to them in Afghani$tan or similar $h$$holes.
They know that they were on a low priority list if any country, they are in becomes another Hate America country.
Unlike tv shows, the Ambassadors, their families and other embassy elites are usually the first out of country, before the fecal matter starts hitting.
How many of these Embassy elites are Ivy league, GW or GT, Stanford, UC Berkeley or USC alums. The rest are lower class scum in the eyes of these Elites.
The folks you are describing are what the Commies call “useful idiots”.
They are cannon fodder for the revolution.
