Leave it to the Washington (com)Post to dredge up 5 year old dirt.

At least they may perceive this as dirt. I think his remarks were OK.

This sounds exactly like the kind of guy we need in Afghanistan right now. Nice move, Obama...even a broken, communist, wanna-be, president is right once in a four year term....

His comments were absolutely appropriate 5 years ago and still appropriate today.

Appropriate action was taken 5 years ago - that would have been under that other politically correct numbskull Bush.

I want soldiers and generals who LIKE to kill the enemy. THAT is their job.

I don’t want a general or soldiers who want to AVOID killing them.

There are too many politically correct idiots running around the halls of Congress and the Oval Office, each release worse than the last year’s version.

Anybody here think Patton didn’t like killing Nazis?

I heard this here feller talkin’ ‘bout how much he hated all the crackers. He said if you wanted freedom to kill them. And maybe kill their babies. The outrage from the media is, uh, not describable. That’s ‘cause for it to be describable, there has to be some first.

Don’t the quote marks in the title imply a direct, word-for-word quote, or to the single quotations imply a paraphrase?

Even so, it’s a poor paraphrase.

you got guys who slap women around for five years, because they didn't wear a veil," Mattis said. "You know guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot 'em."

I find this appalling! A Marine Corps commander should be aware of his "public face," and never say something like this!

It should be "... guys like that DON'T have ANY manhood left .." and "It's a HECK of a lot of fun to shoot THEM."

This is my rifle. There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy, who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. Before God I swear this creed: my rifle and myself are defenders of my country, we are the masters of our enemy, we are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen.

What most people don't realize is that when you have a
Patton like fire-p###r like this in command you win quicker
and lose less men.

I won't apologize for the adult language, it's a quote so get over it.

Hmmmmm. To think it hasn't been that long since "Your honor, he just needed killing." used to be a viable defense.

Nice to see a man who enjoys his work. Pity the weenies can't handle that.

“Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet.” - One of the rules Maj. Gen. James Mattis gave his Marines to live by in Iraq

The Wapo is a commie filled circle jerk. Anything for failure. Glenn Beck’s show yesterday was spot on with the commie propaganda we are seeing from them and other media outlets. I have been saying it for years.

Mattis’ words are awesome by the way.

When lefties ask me if Obama has done anything right, which they ask constantly since I am so negative... I have something to point to.
