Interesting that my former boss in the Pentagon made SES as part of that an ultimately Ambassador.

In 1998 President Bill Clinton nominated Mr Holbrooke as the next US ambassador to the United Nations but it took the Senate 14 months to confirm him in this job.
Mr Holbrooke says he has no moral qualms about "negotiating with people who do immoral things".
"And so I make no apologies for negotiating with Milosevic and even worse people, provided one doesn't lose one's point of view."
If you want to blend in, take the bus
Yeah. Most all of it. I used to think I'd seen
the dumbest thing in the world and would then find out that people could invent dumber ones really quickly and easily; now I just watch, shake my head and grin as ever more trundle down the pike...Well, we've seen almost all of it (I used to think)...
One of the bad gigs about being an old NCO is that you get to the point where you can look at a guy for the first time and in five seconds pretty well judge his net worth as a hooman bean plus his general honesty and testicular fortitude. You get one wrong every now and then but mostly, you can look and know. Not conducive to a great deal of faith in mankind, makes you old before your time.
