Why does an embassy need 15,000 workers?

They need a lot of people at the ready, so just in case this time they can really thoroughly shred  those documents.

I think all our embassies need 15,000 workers.

It is rather stupid to say the war ended with the last US troops leaving.

Kind of the other way around - the last US troops are leaving because the war ended quite a while ago. At least in theory.

Quite, if the definition of a war ending means the last troops leaving a country that it defeated, then we're still fighting WW2...

If it is anything like state government they'll need some jobs for important peoples' friends, relatives, those owed favors, and then some jobs for people who have to actually do the work.

Agree with Marty that it's silly to call this the end of any war.

Disagree with Marty that wars only end when the antagonists sign a peace treaty.

How long will it take for the country to fall into the hands of their enemies ?    :hmm:

I imagine that the Iranians will be rolling in within the month.

It's already in enemy hands.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

It was in enemy hands the moment Garner was fired and replaced by Bremer.

The war ends when one of the parties is destroyed or surrenders, or the parties sign a peace treaty.

To be fair, it didn't help when the enemy took the White House.
