Mattis was on “CBS Sunday Morning.” He was promoting his new book.
He said he resigned because he was opposed to the president pulling U.S. troops out of Syria. He said that was done in Iraq (by Obama) and it was a mistake.
Mattis also said he won’t criticize a sitting president.
It was clear he had no use at all for Obama.
Mattis earned his say with his 40 + years in the military, much of it in high command..Trump picked him, touted him, and they grew to disagree on Iran, Syria, Israel, etc..2 Hard driving Type A guys who are use to getting their way.....Mattis did the right thing resigning...Nobody likes a Rat, especially the Military, I don’t expect Mattis to pull a Clapper or Brennan.....
