And in the background “he’s bluffin” No he ain’t

For starters, she’s not a Pentagon official any more.

Correct, which is why Mattis would be HVT #1 in a coup attempt.

Do you really think Mattis would give his word to Trump and then attempt a coup against him?

I really do not believe this warrior would stoop this low seeing that some sensibility is being restored to the rank and file. Plus he is an honorable man.

I do believe Mattis is the only person that would have Trump kowtowing to him and that has already happened on the issue of "extreme interrogation" (WETF that is). Which is good. I believe when it comes to the might of the US Military, you need a strong man between the President and the Armed Forces.

HVT = “high value target”.

No, of course I don’t believe Mattis would betray Trump.

I thought I was following your train of thought but sometimes I go off into the weeds and briars.

I am sure Mattis has pulled in some people loyal to him, armed and watching his 6, 24/7.

He knows history and is probably the smartest man surrounding President Trump in the inner circle.
