Lots of men exhibited lesser or greater degrees of cowardice by following the boss' orders not to cooperate with the investigations.
Ambassador Yovanovitch defied those orders and did the right thing. The patriotic thing. The BRAVE thing. She stood up to real time bullying and intimidation. She did that with resolve and humility.
The entire country saw what a Badass Woman can do.

(22,781 posts)for such a crude designation. She would not feel honored by your post. She represents a higher perspective on what it is to serve the country, and how to comport oneself as a representative of the country. I know many may not understand what I'm getting at, but language and behavior are an essential part of who diplomats like Yovanovitch are. I know because my father was one of them.
