Mattis wanting to appoint partisan Democrats to Team Trump is beyond the pale. He needs a good pep talk from POTUS about playing for the team or hitting the bricks. It’s his choice.
WTF??? Mattis needs to be replaced immediately!!!
“Christian based Healthcare co-ops are being axed...”
I think that is major. Please look for an article and start a thread.
Doesn’t work on the battlefield, the last administration didn’t do it and their agenda to destroy the republic was very successful, and this is truly a war.
I have to admit that so far it is only his appointments that are wack. Problem is, WE WANT THE STINKING SWAMP DRAINED, not fed fresh bacteria. I’ve been trying to keep up with his work (not that anything the DOD does should be public) because of reservations I had and what he says and has done so far doesn’t appear to be bad. I watched him and Gen Dunford today and they do want more hardware.
Worth watching:
Yah, me, too. Mattis has to realize he got his job because CONSERVATIVES voted for Trump and CONSERVATIVES howled at Petraeus being given any position in this administration because we know he was/is a progressive, believes in a North American Union, and was advising zero even after his adultery. I have always wondered what parts of the COIN strategy were Petraeus and what parts Mattis.
hmmm. Center for a New American Security...
Petraeus and Mattis wrote the COIN strategy.
“Founded in 2007, the Center for a New American Security (CNAS) is widely considered to be an important source of national security and military analysis for the Obama administration, particularly with respect to counterinsurgency strategy (COIN). Described by the Los Angeles Times as a haven for hawkish Democrats,[1] CNAS calls itself an independent and nonpartisan research institution that aims to engage policymakers, experts, and the public with innovative fact-based research, ideas, and analysis to shape and elevate the national security debate.[2]

agreed, lets not forget global warming, and he already said he would d the freebie child care , because she wanted it.
I contacted them. This bill DOES NOT go after them as conjectured by comments on this thread. What they want is some type of classification in the bill that will ALLOW ITS MEMBERS to enjoy HSA’s and bypass the 30% penalty. They are urging its members to get the needed language added to this bill as they are not technically an insurance company.
I love Mattis quotes. Used them to moto my son at boot camp. Wonder what parts of the COIN strategy and rules of engagement he fought under were Mattis. I love the Red Letter Editions of the New Testament! :)
I wondered the same thing after this one.
Ah, I wondered about that being as they are co-ops. Thanks. Whew!
“What we may be seeing here is, though someone may be a great general, that person may be naive as to politics and the damage those with significant ideological views can have on a government department.”
I think that’s exactly what is going on with Mattis.
Too many of our generals retire to a career of treason.
Unless Mattis is a complete idiot (and I don't think he is), something else is at work.
And the only thing that can be in these particular cases is that he is attempting to confound the enemy by sending false overtures to them.
Trump has done the same thing on several occasions.
