If I am not mistaken, he, as a retired military man, is still subject to the UCMJ. If someone wants to push it, he is not allowed to show open, public contempt for the president. No one will push it, but they could.
Like a true Swamp Creature, he feels he is due from the citizenry and long forgotten his oath.
mattis continues to embarrass him self. He is a disgrace. I am a Former Marine. This LIB tool is an EX-Marine.
However, I kept my own counsel, not wanted to get shouted down, yet again. It's sad to know I was correct, again.
So says the overrated Jim Mattis who infamously refused to dispatch helicopters to recover wounded Special Operations soldiers who had been accidentally bombed in a B52 strike. As a consequence a number of the wounded, who could have been saved, died unnecessarily.
When a Marine is “esteemed” by The Atlantic you know there’s a problem.
Yeah it would be better to to have an Alzheimer’s patient for a few months and then slide in Kamala Harris to finish off the country. FU Mattis you’re just another traitor like Colin Powell.
Mattis MAY have been a good general, that is open to question, but he is a lousy democrat politician. I would not follow him to a good time.
“We must not be distracted by a small number of lawbreakers.”
Rioting. Looting. Arson.
How many businesses and neighborhoods destroyed and at what financial, emotional, and future cost?
How many civilians and policemen killed by the rioters?
Oh. Never mind. It’s just the mayhem of a small number of lawbreakers.
I haven’t heard a single person say that what happened to George Floyd was acceptable on any level. But anyone who cannot draw a distinction between peaceful protest and criminal behavior doesn’t deserve a platform to spew forth rhetoric that only serves to further divide our nation.
Yeah. I felt so UNITED during the hussein regime. Such a warm and fuzzy time.
Matt is has turned out to be part of the Coup Cabal
I think something big is brewing: a coupist op at DOD. You have Mattis and Esper both publicly undermining POTUS today. Highly likely JCS threatening to refuse to follow orders from CIC regarding domestic use of the military.
Mattis forgets that Trump was his superior, and Trump’s orders are not mere suggestions.
Does seem to be a concerted effort as of late to pile on against President Trump.
Everyone is coming out of the woodwork.
Another defeatist smoked out by President Danald J. Trump.
He’s not stupid, he’s complicit.
None of this crap is spontaneous. This “Cronkite Moment” was probably planned down to the damn minute to cause maximum damage.
This feeds into the ever-evolving media narrative. First, Trump was said to be “hiding in the bunker”. Now, this horse’s ass comes out and denounces Trump as “a threat to the Constitution”.
If this is true, I mean its from The Atlantic, but if its true Mattis just destroyed his once stellar career.
I put forth the name Lee Harvey Oswald as one example.
You have city councilmen on Obama’s townhall blatantly lying about who’s burning down black businesses and NO ONE corrects him..
Lord I hope you’re wrong
It may be true. I’m not arguing that. It’s that if they start refusing orders....
