Here's a thought: How about those that are complaining actually do their job? If you're job calls for you to do something, either do it or quit. It's really that simple.
And what disturbs me most is the comments made by Duncan Hunter:
McCormack rejected comments by Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-California, that State Department employees are "nervous Nellies" and that wounded U.S. military veterans should be asked to fill the Iraq vacancies.
I don't mind him calling out State Department employees as "nervous nellies", but I do mind him wanting to ask wounded US vets to fill in those positions. They busted their asses over there and they deserve to go home. Don't ask them anything other then "what would you like for your in flight movie on the way home".
If you have to serve in Iraq, then serve in Iraq. Don't dishonor people who've given their lives in making Iraq a safer place by saying "it's a potential death sentence". You could get hit by a bus in Washington DC, it doesn't mean a damned thing.

I noticed something at the end of that CNN article: Spokesman Sean McCormack "could not say" how many State Dept lives had been lost in Iraq.
Shouldn't a spokesman for the State Department know *exactly* how many lives have been lost in the organization he represents? Shouldn't he know as much as possible about the people in his own organization who made the ultimate sacrifice?
Just another reason why our State Department and its leadership are completely broken.
What are the conditions/oath one takes as a State dempartment employee ? If it is anything like I think it might be, fire every damn one that refuses to go. If my assumption is wrong, I apologize in advance. /mumble spineless worthless parasites.
Perhaps he should have known the number, however, if they are told to go somewhere, and they refused, that's insubordination. A fire-able offense.
