OP The phrase in question - career diplomat.
Why is career used as a modifier for diplomat? There are men/women that have represented their country in such parleys,even though they have not been professional diplomats. Mr. Carter for one. Their numbers are however, relatively few and they are clearly the exception, not the norm. Should not the usage then be 'non-career diplomat'?
