Pretty funny.

I loved the appointment of Mattis, have followed him from his time in Iraq early on. I did not agree with the prosecution of the Marines, but I very much appreciate his outlook on many things,

He has been disappointing in some respects (especially with respect to homosexuals, transgenders, and females in combat) but I try to keep in mind he does not set policy, he helps the CIC understand issues enough to set policy, then takes orders and implements them. I am willing to be patient a little longer.

So far Mattis has impressed me, in all aspects.

Leadership for many is a construct and a concept. Generals are very, very different human beings. They deal with issues that would make our minds melt (Sending people to conflict where they can easily die, for one.)

I trust these fine men (High ranking officers in all branches) with more than I would trust others.

You are more patient than I. To me, Mattis was insubordinate when he defied Trumps directive and continued enrolling the he/she’s. Mattis was an Obongo General. If as he says, he’s heard Boltin is the devil it begs the question who has been listening to?
