After Haditha, I wouldn’t recommend Mattis for anything more than a state legislator’s job. He is not presidential material.
He was caught engaging in illegal command influence trying to railroad the Haditha Marines falsely prosecuted for protecting their lives in Haditha, Iraq.
He should NEVER be anywhere near a heartbeat from the presidency.
IF you want a warrior general, then look elsewhere.
I agree, Mattis should not be in any position to be in line for the presidency.
Mattis wanted that 4th star and he was willing to throw the Haditha Marines under the bus to get it.
In doing so he sacrificed his honor and any future in higher office.
