My cousin from Honduras is the Deputy Ambassador to Honduras in Ottawa, Canada so in many ways this is closer to me than most people. That Ambassador could just as well be my cousin. Thanks that's all I had to add to the story.

I don't think I'll ever be happy when someone whose job is to resolve things peacefully is killed, even if they work for a country I don't trust or like.

Sorry for the typos, I did it with my smartphone on voice text. I guess maybe I feel it more because my first cousin from Honduras is Deputy ambassador in Ottawa Canada he's like number 2. So I probably feel that someone like him could be murdered. I guess it's more of a human being thing. Russians aren't like your Arab extremist and countries like Iran they don't believe in a death wish. That's why I think we avoided the Cuban Missile Crisis from turning into World War 3 since the Russians didn't want to die And1 submarine captain getting depth charge from American depth charge simulators simulators near Cuba did not want to launch his nuclear torpedo knowing it would start World War 3. He was also on the submarine that was called the Widowmaker that had a nuclear accident and he saw his crew die from radiation exposure the year earlier.

SGT Jeremiah B. - good or bad as our possible adversary he was serving his country even if schmoozing people in North Korea or turkey he was still doing his job and he was a career diplomat. He was serving his country just like we would have a foreign area officer serve his country in another country

SGT Jeremiah B. - It is definitely not The Ambassador's job to put himself in harm's way. The Ambassador is the diplomatic mission. To put him in jeopardy would be an admission the country is vulnerable. The personnel of the security and intelligence groups may accept being placed in jeopardy to accomplish their respective missions - but The Ambassador is to be protected and extracted from unanticipated jeopardy no matter the cost. Therefore we do everything to avoid placing The Ambassador in any jeopardy. Warmest Regards, Sandy :)

This whole situation is crazy and very sad that someone lost their life. I do have to say this though...where was his security detail? How did a high value individual like an ambassador not have at least two armed security personnel near him controlling his area?

Very true it and seeing the picture of the guy in the background while he was speaking looking like security is strange and irresponsible
