Sec. of Defense James Mattis, known for his frank quotes about the realities of war, offered up a line befitting his nickname, “Mad Dog,” during an interview airing Sunday.

“What keeps you awake at night?” CBS “Face the Nation” host John Dickerson asked Mattis.

“Nothing,” a stonefaced Mattis responded. “I keep other people awake at night.”

BOOM! And there you have it. Couple of other good lines in there too.

He can sleep soundly after what he did to the Haditha Marines. Good for him.

Chuck Norris’ twin brother from another mother...

Okay. How many push ups can Chuck Norris do? All of them.

You probably have to view that clip to get the full effect...complete with stoneface.

Clapping seals never ask who precisely Mad Dog wants to kill, other than ‘the enemy’. He won’t say ‘Islamic terrorism’ but rather calls out ‘perversion of religion’ generically. Does he think anti-abortion or opposition to homosexual ‘marriage’ is a perversion of Christian religion? Inquiring minds want to know, as he is insistent that he will kill such enemies.

Gotta love Mattis. His frank, non-political speech is truly refreshing. His no beat-around-the bush attitude is most welcome.

Love it!

Mad dog Mattis is a throwback to when MEN WERE MEN. That was a compliment, and also kudos to Trump for selecting him.

And once upomn a time:
Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani was recommended to face court-martial for having "failed to thoroughly and accurately report and investigate a combat action that clearly needed scrutiny." On June 17, 2008 Military Judge Colonel Steven Folsom dismissed all charges against Lt Colonel Jeffrey Chessani on the grounds that General James Mattis, who approved the filing of charges against Chessani, was improperly influenced by an investigator probing the incident. The ruling was without prejudice, which allows the prosecution to refile. From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haditha_massacre

Haditha was not his finest hour.

good quote.... better delivery

[EEGator]

You pose a tremendously stupid question, congrats...

[RummyChick]

I just watched it...There wasnt even a hint of what some would have done..kind of a knowing look of “I know I am saying something good that people will like”

It was stone cold matter of fact...that is just the way it is.

I loved it.

I think it was Mattis who recently said, “Yes, I think about war with Mexico. It would be the most unnerving 27 seconds of my career.”
