"What the hell is Mattis doing? Going from defending America to selling out defunding America."

Would make a better headline, imo.

[Sacajaweau]

Mattis is very impressive. There wasn't a thing I disagreed with during the couple of interviews I've heard.

I was especially impressed that he did not in any way, undermine President Trump.

[marktwain]

Simply the author's opinion.

Mathis is selling his expertise.

I doubt he will use it to undermine the United States.

[major_gaff]

Mattis gets a lot of grief from the Trumpkins here, some of it deserved, but
he is a Marine's Marine...he would not sell out this country.

[Chainmail]

Whoever Steve Hilton thinks he is, he wouldn’t be equal to a pimple on Gen. Mattis’ posterior.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Not the first general to do that unfortunately.

[JonPreston]

Is Mattis still a bachelor?

[thoughtomator]

No one who knows what Theranos is would ever trust Mattis.

Larger excerpt for context.

Over the last week or so, Gen. James Mattis has been running around hawking his new book, but it was revealed on Sunday that he's planning to cash in on his government service in a much more swampy way.

It was reported by Axios that Mattis is joining the Cohen group, a massive advisory firm started by another former defense secretary, William Cohen. Here's how the Cohen Group describes some of its services:

"...Understanding and intervening to beneficially affect political, legislative, and regulatory issues, including shaping public policy debates, maneuvering through regulatory processes, development of standards and regulations, securing public sector funding..."

This is also known as “lobbying.” It's quite the fall from grace: From “Mad Dog” Mattis to swamp lobbyist. But worse than that, it's not even lobbying for American interests.

He’s no Weasley Clark. (Thank goodness)

I heard Mattis was very critical of Obama in his book.

The big media just aren't covering that part of the story.
