The U.S. State Department is, and always has been, run by Leftist traitors to America.
Patriots need not apply to work there and no conservatives get hired there. They recruit Leftists from Leftist universities.
State Department and CIA employees should have been the LAST Americans to leave Afghanistan. They were the FIRST TO LEAVE. They ran for it and made sure THEY got on the aircraft.
We should have left U.S. State Department employees in Afghanistan to be held hostage by the Taliban if anyone should be left behind.
If the military is run by perfumed princes, the State Department is run by perfumed ponces.
You are absolutely correct. I thought about applying to a Foreign Service job back in 1994 and the entrance exam sample questions contained many concerning East Coast high society. Questions concerning Broadway plays or concert symphony composers, all the shit that nobody from Montana would ever know.
