this used to be the case.The person that wrote that op-ed became an ambassador after it was published.
The activists tend not to make it up the ladder at State. They will stay at a mid-level position in a country that isn't a high priority, or be sent to a massive embassy where they will be one of hundreds of FSOs. Or, they leave their job.
i wonder if that will be the case in the future.
