Mattis knows what he’s doing.
He’s been dealing with war and politics and the need to make changes, where warranted a lot more than you have.
I’ll take his decisions over your brilliant OPINIONS anytime.
You are both correct. I apologize for disrespecting Mattis. I am frustrated with Washington and turned my ire on a good man. He has proved himself an excellent commander, and I know personally that his troops respect him—this is not the case, or even the norm today.
Mattis is by far the best we’ve had in the position in my lifetime. After thinking about it, I realized he’s truly in it deeper than President Trump. He is not surrounded by incompetence; he is surrounded by enemies. The majority of our military and civilian “leadership” do not want a strong or moral military.
Few are willing to make waves and even fewer real change. I pray we see those changes, but I pray even more for the few decent men fighting to make them. Mattis is very high on that list. I am ashamed of having disparaged him and truly ask that God grant him and our President wisdom and protection.
