That’s a little strong. Mattis didn’t stab Trump in the back. He provided his warriors opinion, and when Trump said he wanted to execute differently, he offered his resignation. Both men are right, they just disagree.

As far as the political issues, Mattis, being a true warrior, probably just didn’t want to deal with the politics, and there were plenty of legal issues to be dealt with before anyone could kick out trannies in any case.

I think you and I would be on the same page regarding the trannies in the military issue, but as Donald Rumsfeld once said, you go to war with the army you have. And Mattis was focused on the war. Not the politics.

funny- all i’ve seen (haven’t read) in the headlines is his criticism of President Trump...

And it ain't there despite the following anti-Trump crap:

though it seems clear he disdains Trump’s leadership style.

Clear only to the writer of this crap.........

Obama never did learn to lead and he consistently refused to learn anything from our senior military personnel about how to command either.

I have nothing but respect for General Mattis as well as his respect for President Trump even tho he apparently has issues with the presidency.

I suspect whatever criticism he has of our President is militarily based. And he is entitled to that criticism.....

If only General "Colon" Powell had the same respect of office............

I don’t trust Mattis A retired flag officer should not do this.

Doing what Colonel? Writing a book about leadership? What's the problem with that?

I think you're falling prey to the typical media crap that is trying to drag our president into a conversation with Mattis that doesn't exist.........

Just curious, since you claim to be an Army Colonel, where and when did you exactly get your commission and what university did you attend that got you your necessary degree to become a commissioned officer?

And what was your college degree and subsequent field in the military that enabled you to advance to the rank of Colonel?

Inquiring minds want to know.........

FWIW, I think you've already been busted as being a fraud............Carry on sir or madam!

Yep, ISIS, and its multi-year war, was the direct result of Obama wanting to keep his promise of withdrawing all troops from Iraq. He didn’t care how many people would die. He had a political promise to keep to his fanatical base voters.

Mattis has a lot of opinions: Jim Mattis: I’ll Break Silence On Trump’s Policies ‘When The Time’s Right’

If he is so sure of his superior judgement, he should be running for President. Otherwise he's got an opinion I can ignore.

The most anti-American president.
The most empty resume of any president elected.
The most radical leftwing communist ever elected.
The most racist ever elected.

That says more about the bastards that elected him than it does him.
That they would prefer a son of a bitch such as him to lead to lead them.

Powell was an affirmative action hire. He didn’t have to work for it so he doesn’t respect it.

I can’t stand that phony.

Having not read his book, it's unlikely you have no idea what it's all about.

With that being said, If you're so sure of your own superior judgement, then why aren't YOU running for president?.......Sheesh!

I find it astonishing that a man of his age and public notoriety has escaped any mention of romantic involvements. What is he - a monk?

Chaos was Mattis nickname in the military. Maddog was a Trump creation.
