I hope they counsel him to spread the good word to the rest of our military.
Well, that would be nice.
Color me stupid because I've read this three times and still can't figure out what point is being made. Any enlightenment?
I can't figure it out, either. Perhaps Dr. Pavlovich would like to drop back in and expalain his cryptic comment to us?
I think PHD means "Piled higher and deeper".
This is a vanity post. There is no "original title" other than what the poster gave it. He gave a pointer to the article that he's editorializing about, but everything after the intro paragraph is his own stuff. I think you should put his title back, add "Vanity" in parentheses, and get the hysterical troll-hunters to back off and actually read what the guy posted.
I would have less respect for him if he hadn't said it.
The good generals, like this one, command units in battle.
The POS liberal do gooders occupy chairs in the Pentagon and make a mess of the military.
LOL Or PHD = Poor Human Democrat
Poor humus democrat.
Yep, this PC crap has got to stop.
I couldn't stay in the Navy when the war was over--too many weak-kneed weenies.
We let our guard down all the time and then expect the warrior class to bail us out, after serially humiliating them.
Since I am in that warrior class, I totally am infuriated.
It's no longer what you do, it's what you say and how you say it that upsets the hysterics.

Yeah, really! He is supporting Mattis not against him.
Sheesh, must be a public school goer.
Yeah, it means, "Screw the PC morons."
Heck, the hippies are salted throughout the MSM, Academia and political class. We should have shot them when we had the chance at Kent State.
I don't disagree with what he said. It's just that anymore with reporters waiting to pounce, it's often times wiser to temper your words for the microphone. Too often good people like the general here are forced to resign for speaking the trut, speaking their minds. But, I could be wrong.
I have read what was posted and now that it has been pointed out that the second paragraph was his own commentary, it makes better sense. No need to get nasty about public schools as the post was not done in the usual manner. Second paragraph looked like part of the article and the first reply made no sense to me at all. (still doesn't)
Hre's something.

It is often hard (and sometimes impossible) to judge the sitting President. I fear that many of W's measures will be appreciated in the future. It is one Hell of a hard job to keep the country together, work on medicare, social benefits (at home) and fight a tough war overseas. Just as our founding fathers did, I too believe, that there is neither a "just war", nor "unjust peace". It's true, the war was his choice but I fear that in years to come, we might all realize the importance of fighting all those that (slick) Willy tried so hard to appease. Much of what a current President does in today's United States is the direct result of a prior administrations (mis)deeds. I wish I was smart enough to suggest a non-military solution to the problems we are now having with Al Quaida, Afganistan, Iran, Iraq (possibly soon to come). W's main drawback is acting dumb. Nobody can tell me that a Harvard graduate does not know the difference between NU-KuhL-ARRR and NUCLEAR. This "dumb as a fox" system works well at home, within the large voting blocs, and the masses identify with him readily, but the rest of us find a small discrepancy like that can be attached to his credibility - which I feel is beyond reproach. It's really a tough call and I would not want the be the one to "cast the first stone". I was also somewhat apprehensive about Ronald Reagan, but years after he left, I learned slowly of his great vision and it is only now (almost 25 years later) that we all get a glimpse into his voluminous work - not very popular among his contemporaries either.

Some things should not be said in public.
And he is right. I don't know if I would call it fun but there are certain people in this world who have caused such pain and misery to others that putting a round in them would be pure pleasure.
NO actually he is charged with dealing with the enemies of the United States as so directed by the Commander in Chief, if that is to destroy the enemy by whatever means is at hand so be it.
If that means by the USMC presence the enemy backs down so be it, if it means bitch slapping a wimp reporter so be.
But his secondary mission is bringing home all his troops alive or if it happens dead, never leave them on the battlefield.
