To undermine Trump.
I think we need to start a list of scum-sucking backstabbers:
1. McCain
2. Romney
3. Ryan
4. OmaRosa
5. Preibus ?
5. Cohen
6. Scaramucci
7. Mattis
Please feel free to add your choices.
Simply put, government is full of people who have invested their lives in achieving personal ‘stature’ through government. Those are precisely the types of people who should NEVER be in government.
I have zero doubt that the military, like so many other venues in society, is NOT a meritocracy, and those people who actually make our military successful are the ones we never hear about. Those who climb the ladder have to be political. It’s required. Thus, this group will inevitably include way too many posers who have no business ever being in positions of power. I don’t know much about Mattis, but if he is against Trump, particularly at this point in world history, then he most definitely is NOT a patriot - no matter how many decorations are on his uniform.
Something about Mattis always struck me as odd. What he does doesn’t make my feeling change.
His first flawed action is that he did not support the President on the tranny declaration.
When it comes to executive hires, President Trump appears to be a bad judge of character.
Oddly enough, it was a radical leftist radio host in my area who summed up Mattis perfectly when he was first nominated: I think anyone who has a nickname like Mad Dog is probably a fraud and a wimp. Im more scared of the guy who has NO nickname.
Im just sayin ...
so true
IIRC Bismark famously noted that in every treaty there is the question who is the horse and who is the rider.
Trump reflects the views of those of us who believe we have let our allies ride us too long and too hard. It's our turn.
I did question it, but not here. Mattis’ involvement in Theranos was enough to disqualify him in my opinion. At the time I thought General Kelly should have been given the job.
Westerhout
A New World Order sycophant.
I think that Mattis wanted to handle the Syrian crisis with ISIS to ensure a two year war. What was telling was the Presidents visit with the officers who said they could end it quicker. Mattis wanted a continued fund raiser.
All of the flag officers that saluted the transgenderizing of our military are suspect, imho.
What policy differences? The ones in opposition to democrat policy positions Mattis is being paid or extorted to support?
You’re right.
You try it Jeff?
Trump walked into the deep state swamp.
His second term will be far better.
No choice but to leave.
Well done. Marine. I guess. Putz.
I guess Duty Honor Country is out too.
His Marines is non-existent for the most part today, but not their history.
