President-elect Donald Trump has chosen retired Marine Gen. James N. Mattis to be secretary of defense, nominating a former senior military officer who led operations across the Middle East to run the Pentagon less than four years after he hung up his uniform, according to people familiar with the decision.

He could do worse. If he reverses women and trannys in the USMC infantry, he is the man.

They say Mattis is the “break glass in case of emergency” guy, and I believe it. This means Trump is serious about destroying ISIS quickly.

Love Mattis.
I’m very concerned about the “waiver”, though. Does anybody here actually KNOW details about who has to do what, when?
The Democrats will be 100% against, just because. In the Senate, there will be a butthurt caucus who will not dare to oppose Trump openly, but who very well may hide behind some procedural motion or other obstacle to stall “until the nomination has a full hearing” or some other such BS.
For that matter, can the Armed Services Committee of the Senate even HOLD hearings on the nomination unless and until the “waiver” passes?

“According to The Washington Post, a source close to the transition team told them that President-elect Donald Trump had reportedly selected General James “Mad Dog” Mattis to be the Secretary of Defense”
Turns out WaPo and the rest of the fake news media who picked this “story” up are incorrect.
Trump transition team spokespeople say that no decision has been made yet.
This report is simply more fake news from fake news sources.

When I saw this article, I checked DJT Twitter, Facebook and Transition website, and did not see any mention of it. So I wondered about that. Now I see Jason Miller, the DJT Transition Team Communications Director, tweeting that the decision has not been made yet. Maybe it will be Mattis, but evidently this did not come from the Trump team.
