I’m shocked that a general and now Defense Secretary thinks the world needs to know about our combat readiness.
How about the American People? Shouldn’t WE know?
Psst!
He just told the Americans! Don't pass it on to the rest of the world! Tee hee!
Seriously though, are you saying that we don't deserve to know this?
LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS, LITERALLY!!!
Statements like this fly in the face of what President Trump always stresses about keeping things close to the vest, not tipping one’s hand and withholding the element of surprise.
It is common knowledge that we are not equipped to fight two in two theaters (i.e. Pacific and Europe or today in North Korea and the Middle East).
Would have expected better discretion and judgment from Secretary Mattis.
No, he needs to tell WASHINGTON about the shocking lack of defense readiness that WASHINGTON caused by democrat politics and policies. (Our foreign enemies already know it!)
