Why Do We Send So Many Stupid, Unqualified People Overseas

Just shows you that our ambassadorships are just political patronage
positions. The ambassador himself doesn't have to know anything, after all.
If there is any "heavy lifting" to be done by the embassy, the career State
Department employees will handle it (or mishandle it, as the case may be).

Unfortunately the appointment of so many political cronies just telegraphs
to the affected countries that we don't take them very seriously.
