Sounds to me like a Trump wants Mattis, but Mattis is not sure he wants the job.

Weren’t the Marines in Haditha under his overall command, when they were railroaded for murder? I do not believe he did anything to help their cause and 7 service members careers were destroyed, including the BC... If I am incorrect on this , please advise me.

This must be a decoy.
Mattis was retired in 2013 and therefore is not eligible for SecDef before 2020.

Can be waves by Congress.
I don’t know if it’s a decoy. Trump spoke repeatedly about Patton and MacArthur and Mattis seems to be of that mold.

If I am not mistaken the last time Congress granted a waiver for this requirement was for Marshall in 1950.
I am not convinced that it would easily pass again. Do you know whether it requires a simple majority?
To: GonzoII
Hopefully this is not true.
Mattis is part of the swamp, as evidenced by his sitting on the board of the massive Theranos scam.
