You actually forgot the now-printed story about how Mattis was a Clinton tool right from the start and was supposed to be her SecDef once she was prez.
Yep, he made a career out of shilling for DemonRats. In the military, he made colonel under Bubba Klinton and has been a shoe-shiner to progressives ever since. Bush was reasonably conservative from 2001-2004 but was soon turned. Mattis talks a good game but he’s a leftist shill.
