I wouldn’t give up yet. We have a fighter for a President and he hasn’t quit yet.
As far as Mattis or Kelly or Alles (not Allen) go, I remember all them as arrogant, discourteous and not as talented as I thought they would be. I am disappointed with them, but they are who they are.
I served a tour and a half with 1/11 and 2/1 - and I’m proud of us and what we did. As I remember, neither Kelly nor Alles ever set foot in Vietnam; didn’t accept their commissions until the war was finished, darn the luck.
Thanks for comments. I was referring to John Allen a former USMC 4 star who was (1) leather-lunged supporter of Hillary Clinton vs DJT in 2016; (2) currently CEO of Brookings and the eminence behind their Trump smears. SF mate.
