It was a combination of the O admin's R2P doctrine and Western Europe's please to prevent a wave of mass immigration into Europe (how that working out?)

Nope - nor do I believe the Academia of the Obama Admin. You can argue that the foreign policy of the R/D presidential admins were somewhat closer in appearance up and in through some of the Clinton years. Partially because the core of the State Departments were professionals and not political hacks. Sure, many senior execs were political favors but they had a better core to lean on. Last 20 years, and particularly under Obama, the departments have been increasingly politicized.
The current admin is SO FAR over their heads it is going to costs us dearly. The Bush incompetents were leagues more qualified than this bleep show.
Now it is time to drink.

At lower levels yes, and surprise surprise, a lot of them are moderate to conservative in the ranks. Pentagon is not the problem nor are the lower to mid tiers of other key departments, it is the political gerrymandering of internal policies. We have branch secretaries that are sacrificing warfighting, training, and competency for social engineering and biofuels.
Time for that beer (Allagash BTW)
