I don’t know nearly enough about the military or this situation or Butler to give an adequate response.

I would not be shocked to learn the military has been used for less than perfect reasons.

I didn’t go read the article but from the excerpt I note they aren’t quoting Mattis they are quoting an anonymous former senior national security official. I take anonymous sources with a grain of salt.
