Mattis leaving Pentagon, end of Feb.

MSM wants to claim “shock” announcement, but it is the end o 2nd yr of Trump’s term and many presidents have some cabinet turnover by 2 yrs in. Not sure yet if there is any “shock” at all... unless Mattis makes a fuss on the way out.

Is Mick Mulvaney going to take on this role too, in addition to OMB and COS?

The week before my two sons had the crucible at MCRD Mattis was on the hill handing out EGAs.
They missed him by one week. They were disappointed but the recruits were all inspired by him. One year ago next week actually. Wow the time fly’s by........
Here is the Mattis resignation letter, released publicly by DoD press office. It is not too specific but it does make the resignation about a difference in views/policies rather than the usual "return to private life" or "spend time with family" etc. (well I don't think Gen. Mattis has much immediate family, he never married....):

But will his trannys stay? The question is will our Warriors continue to be railroaded for doing their jobs by deep state Obama holdovers in the U.S. government.

Im sorry he is going but I think 17 years in Afghanistan, Iraq and now Syria is enough. Something big is about to happen with Turkey and I think POTUS wants our troops out of there.
One of the problems with the pentagon is they are perfectly happy with ongoing wars.

Read his letter. He resigned because trump is entitled to a secy who agrees with him, etc
To: Romans Nine
Sorry, but what did he actually DO to improve the military experience for the troops? He oversaw the expenditure of a lot of taxpayer dollars buying new stuff and talked tough but we still seem to have a military that is a social experiment first and a fighting force next.
To: Trump_the_Evil_Left
Mattie is a pussy. Cant believe he is bailing.
He should stay and follow CIC orders like a real Marine.

Mick Mulvaney is capable of handling all Cabinet positions simultaneously. We need no other Cabinet. ;)

yes, I just posted a link to the Mattis resignation letter, thx
Clearly it is over some disagreement(s) in policy, maybe as rumored views about Syria, Afghanistan....

Reading between the lines sounds to me like Mattis is pissed about the end of neocon leadership.
