Based on Benghazi, Being expendable just might be a plus.

Talk about secretary rice, President Obama, and Hillary Clinton all lying to the public about that it was a video that cause this spontaneous complex attack. I heard Hillary is running again in 2020 So This Woman's going to be a knife in her sight again. Aside from all the President Trump troubles, at least he didn't have a server in his bathroom. Hillary Clinton is lucky she is not behind bars. This is not deflecting on the president's appointment, I'm just saying since you mentioned Benghazi and I think of Hillary Clinton lying, this lady's going to come back and wake up people to what Hillary Clinton did and didn't do.

EDIT I mistook East London in the article referring to a place in SA I had never heard of, for East London in the UK....

I stand corrected.. now, if some will focus and respond to the substance posted elsewhere we could return to an adult discussion.

SGM Erik Marquez - It wasn't a grammar error - you called the article writer and editor liars or incompetent - not because they made an error, but because you failed to check your statement and made a completely false statement of your own.

I think I responded to both of your comments equally.

MAJ Bryan Zeski - So still, you refuse to respond the the questions with content... Why is that sir?
I was mistaken, i mistook East London in the article for for East London .. I have no editor, no other reviewers nor am I professional writer expected to be superbly researched and corrected of all copy I write.
Im sure you will refuse to see that as an honest mistake, so be it
Will you rise to the challenge or just continue to point out what i have already conceded..I was mistaken..lets move on shall we...

SGM Erik Marquez MAJ Bryan Zeski - if we can get past the East London fiasco, I think it’s important to realize a few long standing traditions that likely won’t be changing any time soon.
1. Ambassador-ships (particularly to strategically unimportantly nations) will often go to close friends/allies of the president, or to mega donors to the party in power.
2. This isn’t a uniquely new ‘Trump problem’. It’s been going on for quite some time, on both sides.

So to summarize, yes, our Presidents, including the current one, are no strangers to appointing cream puffs ambassadors to cream puff nations. (Or even others). It’s not a really a big deal because it’s been happening for quite a while.

SrA John Monette Sure, that was the process in the last administration. There are many administration officials that are exempt from Senate approval. I doubt anyone votes for someone that they don’t trust.

SrA John Monette Yes, as an example, I am a conservative (surprise) and voted for a Democrat, Phil Bredesen, twice. Based on his campaign promises and carrying them out

MAJ Bryan Zeski I've never seen or read your comments that are critical to the liberal cause. Now, you do claim that you are without bias. But Trump is living in your head.
