Hate to break it to you sparky, he’s been there for a third of Trump’s term now. ISIS still holds some areas. Normandy to VE day was 11 months, so I wouldn’t crow about destroying ISIS just yet.

And sorry, if he hasn’t found 15 minutes to end trannies, and to end honeys and homos in the infantry, that tells me all i need to know.

If he didn’t change the culture in the first week, he has no intent to. Like last spring when he let a lesbo with a wife and two kids take over the Air Force academy. Or this year he is silent when they had a male and female tranny couple to a symposium for cadets.

Face it, Mattis approves of this, or he has no balls. Nothing else is possible.

I’m sure the problems you have outlined are just the tip of the iceberg. Full disclosure -— I don’t know a darned thing about the military. But what I DO know, is that these problems weren’t developed in a day, and it’s going to take a long time, and more than one man to fix them. Just from what I’ve read, the military morale has already seen a large boost, just by virtue of the fact that a man of Mattis’ character has been made SECDEF. I would LOVE it if all our social evils could be eradicated overnight. They can’t, and it will take a miracle of God to undo the Gordian knot that liberals and progressives have twisted our country into. Mattis can’t wave a magic wand; neither can he, like Alexander, undo it with one fell swoop of a sword. He can only live one day at a time, and “sufficient for the day is the evil thereof”.

Hysterics? Why do you call it that? Please go through his questions one by one, refute them and explain why they are unwarranted “hysteria.”

It’s easy for you to lob a short baseless accusation like that. To this civilian, this appears to be a reasoned, sensible list of the ills in the military that put our nation at risk.

I’m surprised he didn’t harp more on the commie bastard at West Point.

“Really? What was incorrect about anything he wrote? While you’re at it, detail your combat experience to give us all an ide of your basis of judgment.”

I’ve done my time. This guy sounds like every whiny junior enlisted I’ve ever seen. Too bad he didn’t stay in and help fix any of the problems. According to him, the way to solution is for all the seniors to quit in protest.

Good to know that have a low opinion of the junior enlisted folks: you must’ve been a hellua leader.

Whether or whether not you care for his tone, he correct in every point: our services cannot function with deviants in our ranks and ladies on our front line.

I’ve got 27 years of service behind me from junior enlisted to battalion command and I am disappointed that Jim Mattis hasn’t acted to correct this mess.
