Mattis being a Marine does have something to do with my attitude. I fully expected him to be no nonsense, to get it right, not wallow in the destructive experiments forced on the military by the haters in Obama’s administration. Yes, him being a Marine does have a lot to do with my attitude.
I think Mattis has been quite busy taking out ISIS. ISIS was a foremost threat to the USA and all western states. Trump had the wisdom to put Mattis in charge. ISIS is now a whiff of air as they have been destroyed. All that remains is a fragment here and there and they were defeated in ONE YEAR. Give credit where credit is due.
