Quite obviously you need to be a toady recent example Brownback as Religious Freedom Ambassador what ever the f--k that is.
But for Korea a staunch conservative like Cha isn't subservient enough for the Trump regime. He had the outlandish thinking that diplomacy might be a better solution than WAR.
Alas, that's not to be. Cha may have been targeted by liberals as a right-winger with close ties to South Korean as well as American corporations, but he clearly wasn't enough to the right to suit everyone. No sooner had the White House dropped his name from the running this week, Cha had an op-ed in the Washington Post outlining his opposition to a preemptive strike on North Korea's nuclear and missile facilities—not even a "bloody nose" attack that some White House figures believe could be carried out without inspiring the massive response that everyone fears.
The State Department is being gutted of career diplomats and while many diplomatic posts for Ambassadors now and in the past rewards for supporters they had strong support staff below them to guide them. With Tillerson at the helm that is no longer so and the moral in State is at a all time low.
