Unbelievable. It is a long known that the State Department and Diplomats in general are pantsies and sissies, but this utter cowardice is incredible. The troops over there don’t complain when deployed. (Well except the handful traitors running to Canada to avoid service.)

Send every last State Dept employee there (or to Afghanistan, or to Somalia).
Treason against the U.S. will be cut in half.

Maybe now State will stop stabbing the armed forces in the back because it will be State Dept people that will be the chickens coming home to roost is a place they can't handle.
And most are libs that hate Blackwater, the people assigned to protect them.

To: SolidWood
The troops over there don’t complain when deployed.Our troops also do not have the option of simply quitting and finding a new job if they do not like their current line of work either. These whiners do.

Du mon nheiu to all of those light heeled bespoke State Dept ‘Crats.
Hmm, it could be fun, lots of sunshine, beaches down on the Tigris, I would bet that these folks would turn into Hobbits for their 1 or 2 year stays in the Friendly Confines of Baghdad.
