President-elect Donald Trump has chosen retired Marine Gen. James N. Mattis to be secretary of defense, nominating a former senior military officer who led operations across the Middle East to run the Pentagon less than four years after he hung up his uniform, according to people familiar with the decision.

We need to shun Levin like the Cherokees used to shun Cherokee rectums like Levin.
Shun all of the Never Trumpers here and in our lives and with our $’s.
Some nice quotes!
And Nimitz was also a far better strategist than MacArthur.
Thanks! No way I would have ever guessed that acronym.
I see that I was off by about six months. Thanks for the correction.
Nice!
No, I meant the dems won in Vietnam. The commies won in Vietnam, the dems are commies. The difference between the two ranges from none to zero.
The dems defunded the war while the most trusted man in America (Walter Crookedkit) started a very successful lying campaign that today has evolved into a propaganda machine Joseph Goebbels would envy, which includes our very own ministries of education and entertainment.
Since Vietnam we’ve only had a small 8 year breather, which would be Reagan. BTW, he gave us a small win in Grenada, which felt good.
I thought Peck played it fairly well. Peck is capable of playing a commanding role. But, I think George C. Scott played Patton much better. I recall watching a documentary about the making of the Patton movie, where Scott actually studied the man, his accomplishments, his problems within the Army and actually tried to be him. Scott really tried to do a little more than be an actor in this film, which is why I think it’s better.
Gottcha.
Reagan was the only good President we’d had since Cool Cal Coolidge (somehow we won WWII IN SPITE of FDR) - Reagan wasn’t going to lose and he didn’t beating the USSR without firing a shot. Loved that man.
Now we’ve got Trump potentially another good-to-great President like Reagan. There have been very few, but Trump could be one.
And apparently he didn’t want Patton over there in the Pacific theater. Too many egos I guess.
Scott’s role was apparently completely outside the character of Scott himself who looks like turned out to a a kind of hippie. Scott turned out to be a bit weird, but his role as Patton was stunning. All this talk - I’m gonna watch “Patton” the movie tonight I think.
Trump just announced!!!!!!
It’s Mattis for sure!!!
Trump live right now 8:20 pm EST confirmed Gen Mad Dog Mattis is Sec of Def
Mad Dog Maddis!!!!WOW!!!
YES! YES! YES! Eight long years of hell fading into obscurity with the adolescent Marxist Muslim whining, whining, whining that Trump is such a big bully. Go Donald Trump! I'll have to rethink my new Tagline now WITH GREAT PLEASURE!
Mad Dog Mattis is without question, the top pick. . Outstanding! The warrior mentality may yet be restored and the faggot crowd best keep their mouths shut and their heads down.
Yes..
Tonight I told my husband
..”Happy Days Are Here Again”.... ( but I do fear a terrorist attack)
UUURRRRRRAAAAAHHHHHH
DEVIL DOG MAXIMUS
It is such a giant, great relief to have Donald Trump as our 45th POTUS.
the waiver isn’t required, because the infringement upon the president’s authority to nominate whomever he chooses is almost certainly unconstitutional
congress will probably go ahead and approve the waiver, but it’s totally unnecessary.
