Nice fear monger
Obama only wanted YES men around him!!!! Pentagon insiders say that he rubbed civilian officials the wrong way -- not because he went all "mad dog," which is his public image, and the view at the White House, but rather because he pushed the civilians so hard on considering the second- and third-order consequences of military action against Iran. Some of those questions apparently were uncomfortable. Like, what do you do with Iran once the nuclear issue is resolved and it remains a foe? What do you do if Iran then develops conventional capabilities that could make it hazardous for U.S. Navy ships to operate in the Persian Gulf? He kept saying, "And then what?" There is also a belief that Mattis and Obama differed on Iran. "A particular point of disagreement was what to do about mischief Iran is exporting to other countries. Mattis is indeed more hawkish on this than the White House was," writes Ricks in yet another post. "National Security Advisor Tom Donilon in particular was irked by Mattis's insistence on being heard. I cringe when I hear about civilians shutting down strategic discussions. That is exactly what the Bush administration did in late 2002 when generals persisted in questioning whether it was wise to invade Iraq. That led to what some might call a fiasco." Source |

yes to his Marines going to front line
His appointment sends a strong message. What do you think our enemies are saying among themselves now? Do you think Russia will do a flyby on one of our ships now? North Korea? Sure beats Obama bowing to everyone!!!!! |

Gen Mattis...........A great choice. Probably will not get confirmed by congress. He scares liberals so much they mess their shorts.

We will seee if Trump's advisors are doing him well.
I would like to think Trump would not offer up a candidate unless he was fairly certain the approval is reasonable to expect. We shall see. It would be nice if we Americans see the valid reasons for choosing him. And let our enemies fear the reasons why he should not be the nominee. As for the nick name "mad dog" it has been written the only people he tolerates that name from are those under his command. |

Mattis would also need a waiver from Congress in order to be confirmed.
he is not 7 years retired, but should be ez to get. Mattis, 66, would join a Trump national security team that already includes retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn as national security adviser and Rep. Mike Pompeo as CIA director. |

The waiver from the senate requires 60 votes. Trump's own senator Kristen Jillibrand will vote no. |
