“Zero made a big mistake”....

No he didn’t.

Mathis rolled over on the Haditha Marines.

I wouldn’t trust him to lead my son.

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

Mathis' statement to the soldiers was a great sentiment, but the second any of his Marines took that sentiment to heart, he turned on them.

He said it, but he didn't mean it.

It's no wonder Obama decided on him. They are both big on words, but small on action.

You worry about the Army the Marines got it under control.

Why in hell can’t the Army do it if the Marines can. They are the same kind of men; why can’t they be like Marines.
Gen. John J. “Black Jack” Pershing, USA; 12 February 1918
