Reading between the lines sounds to me like Mattis is pissed about the end of neocon leadership.
Off topic, but is John Bolton not fully on board with Trump's foreign policy?

Bingo!
I’m not going to throw shade on Mattis, he is a good guy who served his country with distinction. However, these guys who make it to the very top of our military are most definitely neo-cons at heart, and in ideology. They never met a missile they didn’t want to launch or a bomb they didn’t want to drop. Perpetual war in the Middle East is what they want. They see the U.S. military as a global peace force. To DJT’s credit, he has kept his promise to avoid both those scenarios.
