Neocon warmonger committee chairman wants Mattis to attack Russia. Clair McCaskill of course immediately asked him did he agree with women being allowed to die alongside men in battle and he basically said if they meet the standards it's fine. Something tells he that lad her this to shut her up and he'll put an end to this nonsense once and for all, especially women in special ops and the infantry. All democrats on panel badmouthing president-elect Trump and trying to get Mattis to say he's an idiot. He's not falling for it.

I’ve been looking for a live thread here. Interesting that I haven’t seen one, but thanks.
I am streaming this from C-SPAN, listening to this on my headphones and watching when I can. Gen. Mattis is extremely intelligent and refusing to get rattled by the Dems.
Kristin Gillibrand carrying the water for feminists and SJWs, blathering on about gender roles. I can’t stand McCain, but he just shut her down as her time expired.

When does the senate vote on these nominations?
To: Constitution Day
Gilderbrand just asked him about LBGT in the military. Channel cut away and I couldn’t hear his response. For those worried about Mattis continuing to turn the military into a big social experiment pay attention to his prior comments not how he’s answering the liberals at this hearing. He needs to get confirmed.

Exactly, he’s not rising to the bait. I think his confirmation is a given, personally.

I’m listening to it. Why is Senator Gillibrand on that committee? Listening to her this AM, one can only conclude it’s to undermine their objectives.

Couldn’t listen to what about women...lgbts, ... blah blah blah. It clearly shows these people do not know the primary mission of the defense forces. I keep picturing those guys bowing down to the Iranians.. I can bet with certainty, they would have never bowed were it not for the female among them. If the hearing agenda pushers don’t think our enemy will graphically describe what they will do to a that female or any other, they need to be removed immediately.

General, what about Muslim beards, or Muslims in general? Rastafarian head dress? Trannies? Women in combat? Long hair?

General, I would request you say that anyone who tells the MSM or any non-need-to-know-basis person the number of troops we will use for ANY operation will be arrested for treason.

I would expect nothing less from our modern day General George Patton.
