Congress will need to repeal the law that prevents him from being Secretary of Defense, but I doubt that will be a problem. Congress doesn't need to repeal the law. They can simply issue a waiver, instead.

Despite the fact that I’m retired Army, let’s a hear a loud “OORAH!” for “Mad Dog” Mattis! Finally a warrior to run the Department of Defense!
As noted above, the confirmation hearings should be quite entertaining. At this point, I’m planning to set my DVR to record CSPAN when the Mattis and Flynn hearings occur.

No more cross dressing sexual freaks in the military I hope.

Congress doesn't need to repeal the law. They can simply issue a waiver, instead. Nothing in the law in question mentions a congressional waiver.

Sic him on the anti-American, Marxist conspirators- The Democratic Party - they are every bit as much of an enemy to America and the Constitution as ISIS is

My oldest is a Marine, and said he and his Marine pals all wanted this General. When they find out I am sure they will have a toast and a cheer to the news.

SO my favorite MD quotes:
Im going to plead with you, do not cross us. Because if you do, the survivors will write about what we do here for 10,000 years.
No war is over until the enemy says its over. We may think it over, we may declare it over, but in fact, the enemy gets a vote.
I come in peace. I didnt bring artillery. But Im pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you f%&k with me, Ill kill you all.

You’re right, he does have that Patton look. I recall reading some months back that Trump wanted a Patton or MacArthur to run the military.
I have a feeling with this guy the social engineering mess will get cleaned up in short order.

I'm thrilled! This is wonderful news!
