Trump just officially announced Gen. James Mathis for SECDEF at his "Thank You" rally in Cincinnati! !!
Patton has long been my benchmark for America’s traditional strength and resolve. I thought we’d never see someone of that caliber again, but it looks like I was wrong.
Barky and Reggie are “concerned”.
Somewhere General Smedley Butler and Sgt.John Basilone are buying the house a round over this.
Gen. George Patton is a measuring stick by which many fall short. Gen. James Mattis may be one of the few that can be considered comparable if not equal.
Love it.
Excellent!
I would think Chesty Puller would be doing so as well ;-)
Buddy of mine ...retired Army colonel...said anyone known as Mad Dog is the right man for the job even if he is a jarhead.
An ok choice. Enough ok that they will be picking up exploded lib heads all over the major cities and hollyweird tomorrow.
Can’t imagine his inaugural speech!
Yeah, well his real name is MAD DOG. He as earned it and out of respect we should call him that.
Along with Lt. Gen. Flynn
...I would think Chesty Puller would be doing so as well...
I’m sure some hearty back slapping is going on between officers and enisted there among all the heroes. How can you go wrong with a Marine named Mad Dog. In the great tradition of all Devil Dogs. .
(and next time...bring the artillery)
How YOU doin?!
General Mattis will be the second tern of Secretary of Defense for George Marshall. Mattis will model his actions on the last General to hold the position.
Mattis is honest, intelligent, extremely hard working and, most importantly, he LISTENS. He believes; if you want to know something, ask the man who is doing it every day. Mattis knew that “Ground Truth” was best gleaned from the Sergeant leading the Infantry Squad in the fight!
This man will be a constant presence in forward deployed commands and he does not suffer fools. You can’t impress this man with a slick power-point brief. He would rather see than hear.
What a breath of fresh air! I’d sure love to be back on active duty!

Good Lord, just seeing those two names makes my heart swell
You weren’t supposed to say anything about it !!!!
Mattis? I APPROVE!
