A supposed "rising star" at the State Department has resigned in anger over President Trump's and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's policies.
Elizabeth Shackelford gave her resignation letter to the left-leaning Foreign Policy magazine, which was, of course, all too happy to publish it. Shackelford's letter says she believes the new administration has abandoned human rights as a priority and shows disdain for the State Department's diplomatic work.
"I have deep respect for the career Foreign and Civil Service staff who, despite the stinging disrespect this Administration has shown our profession, continue the struggle to keep our foreign policy on the positive trajectory necessary to avert global disaster in increasingly dangerous times," she writes in the letter she sent on November 7. "With each passing day, however, this task grows more futile, driving the Department’s experienced and talented staff away in ever greater numbers."

Buh bye!
They are self deporting.
Don’t go away angry, just go away!
So sad!
“I have deep respect for the career Foreign and Civil Service staff...”
Well, that makes one of us. As a career intelligence officer - one who passed the Foreign Service Test and passed on the opportunity to join State, I had numerous opportunities to work with the State Dept. and I was continually amazed at the utter ineptitude and complete lack of appreciation of the truth by State Dept. employees. They seemed to look at the world the way they wanted it to be, not the way it was/is and I was continually amazed at how they could bastardize intelligence to make legitimate threats seem innocent and innocuous.
Exactly.
Been watching too many "How the Universe Works" shows......
The doctor has prescribed “Preparation T” to remove 0bamorrhoids from the State Department.
One swamp creature less! Let us hope more follow her out the door.

She wouldn’t have resigned if she wasn’t going to get a Pension. Principle only goes as far as her Wallet.
Human rights are trivial when compared to the need to preserve American lives.
Jimmy Carter is old and gone
You nailed State. After 20 years Army I made the mistake of joining State, but I retired at 55 rather work with lying backstabbing liberals without honor.
Five years at State or the agency gets you a 5% retirement at age 55.
Well, I must plead Guilty for not reading the Article.
If she was only there five years and didn’t come from another overpaid Government Position, why would anyone care what she has to say? She is sitting at the Kid’s Table.
She deserves nothing more than Newbie status. It’s like a Teenager who thinks they know what Life is all about.
