Defense Secretary James Mattis isn’t keeping private any of his feelings about what it means to serve in the U.S. Navy.
In an Aug. 9 speech, Mattis bluntly praised Navy sailors for their service, telling them it meant “you’re not some pussy sitting on the sidelines.”

Correct. “Pussy” in this context isn’t disparaging. It means “weak of spirit” - short for pusillanimous. Nothing to do with “lady parts” .
HOORAY Defense Secretary James Mattis. Thank you, sir.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!.....
Bravo Zulu Sec. Mattis.
He did, within the context of his speech.
Did these juveniles ever walk through a newsroom even 5 years ago?
Screaming, hollering and f-bombs everywhere, not much different than 70 years ago.
And this is from a group of lefties.
Even Fox News wasn’t as bad as the alt-gay newsrooms in NYC.
OK, I'll bite: what are you talking about? Have you been drinking again?
"I build a shoe. If someone wants to put it on and loudly announce that it fits, that's their business."
No country lost World War II as badly as the U.S.
****
Huh???
You realize Germany and Japan were firebombed, and Japan was nuked twice?
I think I may just hang out here for a little bit
Time for Antifa to go take down the Marine Corps Heritage Center at Quantico. Please, please, pretty please.
My late father helped pay for that. I’ll be there on an electric scooter.
If they are so upset that a General used the term, they would have the vapours and required a fainting couch to hear thirty seconds of any random bit of any random Drill Sergeant’s casual conversation on any random day before the pussy politicians and the pussy college professors turned 90% of our entire population into snowflake pussy cuckolds.
Hehehe...I loved his character.
Every time the guy tried to say “Good morning” to him...
It wasn’t the ‘tough talk’... Gen. Mattis just forgot to wear his “P****y Hat©” (Copyright by MSM)
