barak obama once said that "the best thing about the United States is its ability to change, it's ability to be something other than what it is now". The best thing about the State Dept., at the time President Trump took office, was is ability to change, its ability to be something other than what it was then. Not only did 60% of those diplomats leave, I suspect that the 60% that we really needed to go were the ones who went. Drain that swamp.
