How Mattis Betrayed His Fellow Marines at the Behest of the Deep State

Mattis and John Kelley and “Tex” Alles showed their incompetence when they were given senior positions in the Trump team and then promptly turned against him.

John Kelly ripped it with me forever when he did this at the U.N in front the the entire world community viewership at Trump's incredibly brilliant first address (when DJT tore Kim Jong-Un a new one):

Here was John Kelly's reaction during Trump's big UN speech

Donald Trump went on to forge a great understanding with Kim, who desisted from his constant missile test threats during the rest of Trump's admin. Trump was the first sitting U.S. President to cross over North Korea's border:

I knew John Kelley when we were both battalion commanders. He was arrogant as hell back then and he doesn’t seemed to have changed since then. He can be gracious when he feels like it but the way acted when he worked for President Trump was disloyal, something no Marine should ever be.

God bless you, truthteller, and thank you for your service.

Paraphrasing: Trump said in his recent rally in Alaska that General Mattis said it would take 3 years to defeat ISIS. Trump did not think it should but Mattis said it would. When Trump visited Iraq he asked the general in charge there how long as he knew the people there knew what it would really take. The general answered 3 weeks or less. Trump said he would call him soon. He did after getting back to the White House and made the call and asked again how long. He was told 3 weeks or less and Trump gave the go ahead.

It took less then 3 weeks to kill I think Trump said around 98% or there about. He was told where the remaining ones were hold up and was asked permission to kill the rest and Trump said he was hesitate and said do we really need to kill them, maybe ask them to surrender and he was told they do not surrender. Back and forth a bit but he finally said go ahead and ISIS was defeated.

Now you know why the backstabber Mattis hates Trump.

As for Operation Linebacker, it was the the people in the know knew what to do to defeat the communists and showed just how quick it could be done.

The democrats and the rinos back then and the backstabber military officers in the Pentagon threw it all away which led to the South Vietnam being defeated and the killing of millions of people all over ego and pride and vindictiveness.

“Chihuahua Mattis” would have been appropriate, too.

Same MO as in Vietnam.

Generals, like politicians, are more likely to be jerks and @holes than not. The question is, are they effective in battle.

Some people would just love an Augusto Pinochet. And further, would scrap the Constitution and make him president for life.

Free Republic has been around I think for nearly 25 1/2 years now, and outside of a six-year spin with Trumpism, has never ever been particularly in favor of Trump and in fact, has been pretty strongly CONSERVATIVE, CONSTITUTIONAL and pro-Bush 2, Cheney, Reagan, Rumsfeld, all along the line, Trump polled pretty low here anecdotally, even Giuliani I think had more support for President. (very anti-communist I might add, such as against the Kim Jong Un regime).
I think it is an aberration that is starting to run its course. Particularly if indictment occurs.

"Conservative, Constitutional" and "pro-Bush 2, Cheney" are contradictions in terms.
