Why dont you read the book by the survivor and then pimp this dirtbag mattis. By the way there were apparently TWO separate incidents where he refused to rescue his men. Two separate books were written about the slimeball hack Mattis and his bad decisions as a general.

You might want to get your facts straight before criticizing others, like me and trump, who aren’t worshipping this political hack and arent afraid to call this guy out. A general who repeatedly fails to rescue his men in peril is a disgrace to the uniform.

Again, so the non-serveing couch commandos are suddenly "experts" on warfare and risk. Gen. Mattis had a duty to the medevac crews every bit as important - and maybe more important - than a duty to rescue an unknown number of soldiers in an unknown tactical situation, 45 minutes away by helicopter (do the math - that's 80 to 100 miles away). So, what would your considered opinion of him be if he had launched a long-distance medevac and the helicopters and crews were lost and we added 18-20 more Americans to the death toll?

Let me know how you do in your next combat command.

Oh, that's right - neither one of you have been in combat or had command responsibility. That's a shocker!
