The caption of your poster does not align with the current official ROE. It does, however, align with my personal ROE: grab ‘em by the gonads and their hearts and minds will follow. I think that was where Gen. Mattis was going with his comment.

"Patton also said: "May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I sure as hell won't."

He stold that line from civil war General John Pope who said the same thing about the Confederacy.

Sherman had a quote along the same lines just prior to his "march to the sea", too.....

The Wapo is a commie filled circle jerk. Anything for failure. Glenn Beck’s show yesterday was spot on with the commie propaganda we are seeing from them and other media outlets. I have been saying it for years.

Mattis’ words are awesome by the way.

When lefties ask me if Obama has done anything right, which they ask constantly since I am so negative... I have something to point to.

“Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet.” - One of the rules Maj. Gen. James Mattis gave his Marines to live by in Iraq

He probably stole that from Freeper Squantos.
