An unnecessary response. Should have ignored Mattis. The star ranks are populated by people withing the system and are naturally deep staters.
No one puts baby in the corner
And no fired 4-star gets to call the CinC a “nazi” in the midst of a military operation against an entrenched and dedicated domestic enemy of the entire American pubic ..... while speaking of “ dividers”
Necessary
Sorry, but I completely disagree. Mattis’ whole persona is wrapped up in military leadership, including counterinsurgency. Mattis just stepped on his own claymore, driven by his desire to be politically relevant.
Before you ask - yes, I know of what I speak. I am a former US Army officer myself, but was more interested in my marriage and family to become a lifer.
No, Trump fights unlike both bushes.
Actually its the Military that is supposed to keep their piehole shut, opinions to themselves and follow orders with a “yes sir”, not the CIC. Trump is correct and Mad dog 2020 is wrong.
You are correct. At this point being ignored by Trump would be more of a dig than a tweet.
