Politically correct? Have you read any quotes at all from the man? He is most definitely not politically correct. Sorry, but I’ll accept the judgment of President elect Trump and scores of Mattis supporters over that of a keyboard warrior
Mattis has a lot of great quotes - but none of them go beyond traditional MC culture. Yes - they upset snowflakes but it is only vintage Marine.
Which means it is possible he plays the PC game when it comes to islam. From what I have read, which isn’t that much but more than most, he thinks we are at war with the mean muslims when the actual issue is that we are at war with islam.
An understanding of the difference is absolutely crucial. Islamic terror is just a sideshow, a distraction to keep the West from perceiving the real issue which is cultural assimilation vectored through immigration and birth rates.
Now maybe I’m wrong and if you can point me to some source material I’ll gladly read it. And maybe Mattis plays PC just for public consumption. Time will tell.
