Sounds like Mattis means business with his audit of the DoD too.

I wish we had 50 generals like this. He actually begged some enemy not to cross some sort of line once, because if they did he’d have to destroy them with everything he had.

That is what you want - I don’t want to kill you. Don’t make me do it, because if you make me do it, then I won’t be just killing you. I’ll make sure everything about you dies.

He has no poker face, because he doesn’t play poker. He’s there to extend policy where diplomacy ends.

Thank God he’s our general.

“I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you f-— with me, I’ll kill you all.”

Mattis remembered offering this message to Iraqi leaders following the invasion.

Sounds Patton-ish.

What Im concerned with is Trump has sent frequently they were told they will not be let in to this country go back home. How are they informing these invaders?

The Blue Angels demonstrate just some of our military aircraft and pilots' capabilities and prowess at places of our Navy's choosing.

I wouldn’t worry about it. Every one of these poor impoverished refugees has a smartphone.
