General Thurmond and Congressman Royce Under Consideration for US Ambassador to South Korea

In my opinion these are two very good candidates for the position of US ambassador to South Korea.  It will be interesting to see who President Trump picks:

Gen. James Thurmond / Congressman Ed Royce

A retired US Army general and the chairman of the US house foreign affairs committee have emerged as candidates to become US President Donald Trump’s ambassador to Seoul.

Retired US Army General James Thurman and outgoing Republican Representative Edward Royce are under consideration for the ambassadorship, two sources with knowledge of the matter told the South China Morning Post.

The pair emerged as candidates after the White House rejected presumptive nominee Victor Cha, a veteran Korean expert and former National Security Council official, because of his unwillingness to endorse a preliminary strike strategy on North Korea.

Thurman, 64, was a member of US Vice President Mike Pence’s delegation to the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics held in Pyeongchang, South Korea in early February. His presence was “a pretty good sign he is under consideration [for the ambassadorship],” according to one of the sources.  [Korea Times]

I forget, why don’t we like Thurmond? I remember the general consensus on here being negative but I don’t remember specifically why. He couldn’t have been as bad as LaPorte….
