Those who have worked with Mattis say his views when it comes to Iran are more in line with those of America’s allies in the Persian Gulf and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu than with his own government’s. At a recent charity event for Spirit of America, Mattis, known by admirers as the “warrior monk” and by detractors as “Mad Dog Mattis,” said his three top concerns in the Middle East were “Iran, Iran, and Iran.”

I suspect that the military holds jugears in utter contempt, and it is all they can do to control themselves from dealing with him as the national security threat that he is.

Is the scenario in the Pacifc of 1940/41 replaying itself only this time centered around Iran? Will it play the same for us?

Mattis is like one of those General's you read about in the history books.....like a living legend. He knows what it takes to win and he says what's on his mind. He isn't married and he doesn't have a tv.

You won't hear him whining about how he needs more minority officers (like the Commandant) and you won't hear him boo-hooing about someone's feelings. He expects the consumate professional and he leads his men by example.

The same man that said "Engage your mind before you engage your weapon," also said "Be polite, be professional, and have a plan to kill everyone you meet."

And one of my favorites (as said to Iraqi leaders) "I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you f#ck with me, I’ll kill you all."

It's a shame we can't weed out some of the yes men and limp wristed faggots in favor of more leaders like this.

“Mattis, known by admirers as the ‘warrior monk’ and by detractors as ‘Mad Dog Mattis,...”

Something tells me that this Devil Dog would approve of both nicknames.

Me and Mattis were on the same boat in 1980 off Iran.
