they signed up to be diplomats

diplomat are supposed to be negotiators

they are also supposed to serve at ANY open embassy assigned to

they are not drafted they volunteer for the job

just like the military

and also just like the military they have a chain of command

and must go and serve were they are told

or also like the military face discharge

if they do not want the job they can quit

unlike the military

what does it say about the situation over there that we can't get enough volunteers? On the news last night, they were saying how incentives have been offered(I would guess bonuses), to try and recruit volunteers. Not enough takers.

Also, if the situation was the same anywhere else, the embassy would be closed.
