Nobody said Mattis should have known. But can anyone imagine this farce taking place on a SAC base in the days of Curtis Lemay?

He should have set a command tone and conducted purges that nobody would have dared such a stunt.

Mattis is Sec Def and has allowed ALL the PC nonsense to continue. It’s on his watch. He’s in charge.

Yeah they did. Mad Dog:

“This act represents what the military has devolved into during the Obama years and now under the tutelage of the Mad Dog, who apparently is so busy loading Tomahawks that he doesn’t know the house is burning down around him. “

It would have been a "Sundown" Wells moment and the people involved would have been off the base by sundown.

It would have Sundown Wells turning over in his grave. At least the state adjutant did the right thing.

I raised my hand a number of times while serving in the Alaska Air National Guard. I can’t imagine ever doing something this idiotic. And they knew this was being recorded! Stupid on top of being disrespectful during what should be a dignified occasion.

I don’t think General LeMay would have waited until sundown to get these fools off base.

I’m beginning to think about Mattis that he probably is truly a mad dog in combat.

But, in the bureaucracy/halls of the Pentagon he seems to hold back. Maybe even be a little awe struck by it all.

I had been told that the late Col Francis J Kelly was also at least part
of the inspiration for the Iron Mike character.

The Pentagon is an “Augean Stable” and cannot be cleaned out in a day. It will take time and serious effort to correct the damage the last administration did.
