The U.S.’s ranks of diplomats are losing key leaders at a “dizzying speed” as the State Department struggles to recruit talent amid a hiring freeze and sinking morale in the Trump administration, according to a new letter from a top ambassador.

Sixty percent of the agency’s career ambassadors, the highest rank for diplomats, have retired or quit since January. Nearly half of career ministers — the next level down and equivalent to the military’s three-star generals — are gone too, down to 19 from 33. The next-level minister counselors have seen their numbers drop by 62 diplomats since Labor Day alone “and are still falling,” writes Ambassador Barbara Stephenson, the president of the American Foreign Service Association union.
Yep, this is where the it could get interesting. These guys need the career type state department people that know how such things work to get involved and go through the right channels for these players. Without the right representation it could be a tough road.

When you go to other countries, they don't care what we consider the level of a crime to be, you have to play by their rules which are almost always tougher than ours. For their sake I hope they can leave with the team.
