Former Defense Secretary James Mattis went on record Tuesday to defend Glenn Fine, the Pentagon inspector general relieved of his duties by President Trump earlier in the day.
Mr. Fine is a public servant in the finest tradition of honest. Competent governance, Mattis wrote in an email to Yahoo News. In my years of extensive engagement with him as our Department of Defenses acting Inspector General, he proved to be a leader whose personal and managerial integrity were always of the highest order.
Mattis, 69, a retired U.S. Marine Corps general, served as defense secretary from January 2017 to January 2019 resigning after the president announced plans to pull U.S. troops from Syria.

Mattis got his stripes in an organization where he was rewarded for killing his enemies. He did well and I commend him for his many successes. In politics, however, it is important to be competent in recognizing and successfully dealing with liars. It’s obvious he doesn’t do as well in that.
Quelle surprise!
Fine = Clinton appointee.
What part of serving at the pleasure of the President do these military used-to-bes not get?
Everyone the President chooses not to choose, is not some kind of victim!
We need marines like Chesty Puller. Or my dad PFC Vaquero Guadalcanal.
Why don’t these former public officials just STFU!
We need marines like Chesty Puller.
Agree. If Obama or another Democrat had got our kids killed Mattis types couldn’t care less. It sad to see service loyalists defend a partisan dirt bag like Mattis.
Of course he would. Turds of a feather stink together. This asshole is a quisling and embarrassment to the Marine Corps.
“Mattis and all of them are part of the military-industrial-political complex.”

Ike would add...”congressional” to that!

The bureaucracy, just like the elected offices, NEEDS to be cleaned out periodically. Otherwise, entrenched, unaccountable, group think, internal cliques and coalitions develop, not to carry out policy as set by the elected government but to shape it to their own views.
Turd eating dog Mattis has all the character assessment skills of a deep state dope.
Mattis needs to STHU!!!!
Mattis offers proof that Donald Trump was right to fire the a-hole.
Not a bit surprized.
Yahoo News. An oxymoron.
He epitomized “the Emperor has no clothes.”
Happy to see that Jimmy, who was NOT what the smiling face would indicate, finally, being seen by some people.
The sorting process continues.
And it’s so much easier when they self-sort.
