Not an idiot. A tame lapdog of the establishment. Mattis is the guy who, if you recall, tried very hard to stop the ‘no more trannies’ rule from the President. He is typical of what has become the default mode for the people at the top of the armed services. Mattis has learned that the only way to get along and get spending bills passed with the Dems today is roll over and accept whatever lunacy they are pushing. People such as Mattis know conservative traditional Americans are no threat no matter what crap they let be done to the armed services. But the libs are genuinely vicious and one better not fight them. If one does, no one will support you and your career will be destroyed along with ones personnel reputation. Pretty soon people like Mattis don't notice they have become just like the lib rats.

Did Biden promise him a cabinet position between diaper changes?I seriously doubt that the coup planners envision a role for Joe Biden.

Turns out Mattis and Honoré are both big disappointments. You are completely confused and ignorant about Russ Honore. Russ never kissed an ass, never. He is the anthesis of the Beltway General. He was certainly a friend of the soldier and that got him in trouble many times with the political generals. We served together in the same Regiment as battalion commanders and the last time I saw him was sitting in from of the Super Bowl during Katrina bringing sanity to a political attempt by Governor Blanco and Mayor Nagrin to destroy a Republican President. I'll fight with Russ any day.

Not officially, but long suspected.
For all his tough talk, he pushed allowing gays and trannies to serve openly in the military.
Mattis resisted the president’s order to not allow trans-sexuals into the military.

“Mattis Is FUBAR. Mattis needs to study American history. There are many precedents for what Trump is suggesting.”
This is all new territory for me. I need to know some of the precedents so I can continue the good fight for our democracy. Teach me.
Thanks!

“Im not sure well survive this.”
We are going to survive this if people are brought to justice before the election.
If the coup plotters are given a free pass for their insurrection, this nation is screwed.
These next few months are going to be historical.

Hmmmn. Joe Biden vice presidential pick? Younger, Ex-Marine, top DoD position. Former Trump appointment, so he could attract RINOs.
The news media would promote him certainly.

Having watch sanctimonious president after sanctimonious president wring his hands and talk about uniting the country I find it refreshing to have a president who doesn’t try. You’re either for Trump or else you’re against him, and if your against him then screw you. Nothing wrong with honesty.

I don’t know what Mr.Mathis want the President to do...
Go on TV now and ask people to please get along?
I get the impression that Mr Mathis does not think that riots are big deal...
He sounds like some naive general...

Go away Maddog. You may have served the country in combat but you are the one endangering by helping divide it.

Get over it, Jimbo. The President listened to your advice and rejected it. You worked for him, not vice versa.

From 10 years ago related to the persecution of the Haditha Marines:
"I don't recall a single time that anyone tried to influence me unlawfully," Mattis testified
"I don't recall..."
"...tried to influence me unlawfully."
Check out this FR thread. Just one of many

RIP Lancey Howard, smoothsailing
The Wall Street Journal was celebrating Mattis' appointment to CentCom in an article called "An Obama Home Run"

James Mattis Denounces President Trump, Describes Him as a Threat to the Constitution It appears the ol' "mad dog Mattis" is a DOG that PI$$ES in his own food bowl.
To: Reily
And what Mattis is going to do raise an expeditionary force of anti-Trump Marines?
Marines personal views have nothing to do with what is about to happen. Marines follow orders. And those orders will be given in a way that makes what is happening difficult or impossible to understand for the troops who have to carry them out.

I wonder how much damage Mattis did while employed by Trump? Well I think one could safely say that he didn't help.
