Flynn is an Obama Democrat. No way.

You should try Prozac.

How many years were you a Marine Officer for?

It was very wrong of him to write that publicly in the national security. He must feel strongly about it but I’m not aware we abandoned any allies. Aren’t we increasing our military readiness and theirs? Hard for me to respect Merkel after the things she’s done.

He needs to leave immediately.
POTUS should demand it.

Very good point. That is very recent news.

He is talking about NATO and making them actually pay up. Apparently Mattis didn’t like that.

Being in Syria long term is quite controversial. It’s very much an evil enemy government, in league with Iran and an enemy of Israel. We can always go back in.

The letter is de facto insubordination. Spelled out.

Well, I have no reason to doubt you...with all the hype, I assumed he was a patriot. Good grief, are there any patriots Obama fired who could be called back into service? Obama fired a lot of generals.

The DOD is just as bad as Justice. O’Bastard did a number on us.

Mattis is a deep state insubordinate

I get the sense that Mattis has served under a long line of pompous poofters, and hasn't had a real commander in a very long time.

Along comes Trump who chooses him as his Secretary of Defense, and he continues operating in his usual prima donna fashion, not taking stock of the fact that Trump is a real executive who's had to get results in the real world.

In other words, a real commander, who doesn't have infinite patience for his insubordinate ways.

Instead of putting his own bs in check, as any good soldier would do, he continues to defy his boss until the friction forces him to step down or be fired.

What an ass.

he stands tall in defense of the country but when Trump did it in Europe, he didn’t like it. Odd

Have to really agree with your statement that he knew all of Trump’s attitudes toward the allies when he took the job. That is a very strong point against his letter.

He was supposed to be the reincarnation of Patton. Screwed over the Haditha Marines. His fan base only cared that he said cool one liners.

ut Woodward has a reputation for accuracy,

Bite me. Woodward is hack.

The Atlantic is a flagship publication of our Elites. And frankly, the Elites need to take a good hard look at themselves.

The primary Principle of War (in U.S. Doctrine) is that of the Objective. Can anyone explain to me the clearly defined, decisive, and attainable Objective that can now be pursued in Syria? The Assad Regime has won its civil war. We aren't going to overthrow the regime--and ISIS is punked. So, the only thing we can do is try to make sure our local allies don't get massacred.
