I have listened to many Mattis speeches/interviews and listened carefully.

He seemed to understand the enemy well and understand the importance of clearly identifying and naming the enemy.

I am at a loss as to what the hell he is doing here.

Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. - Sun-tzu

Chinese general & military strategist (~400 BC)

Always have an advocate for the other side on your staff. A staff of only Yes-Men will destroy your ability to evaluate the entire situation.

Put a contrarian into the mix, then make the folks who agree with you debunk the contrarian point by point. Keeps your staff on it's toes and reduces the number of surprises during the operation.
