LINK

starts off with some quotable quotes, and i'm just going to post his quotes

quote:

"You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn’t wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain’t got no manhood left anyway. So it’s a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them. Actually it’s quite fun to fight them, you know. It’s a hell of a hoot. It’s fun to shoot some people. I’ll be right up there with you. I like brawling."


quote:

"I come in peace. I didn't bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you f*** with me, I'll kill you all." Mattis said this to Iraqi generals.


quote:

"Having dealt with this enemy since 1979… we are up against an enemy that means what they say and we should not patronize them. When they say ‘girls don’t go to school’ you’re not going to talk them out of it… their views of the role of women, their views of modernity, their views of tolerance for people who think differently are fundamentally different than ours."


sounds like a different sort of #BadHombre

He's a legend in the USMC. Nobody fricks with Mad Dog and lives to tell about it. Amazing selection if he gets it

Glad hes not disillusioned that the mid-east shares our values and wants democracy.

He's fricking hired.

Mattis will bring a warrior culture back to the Pentagon, while reeling back in the nation building and incessant interventionism, absolutely go after ISIS and hit them hard where it counts and he will completely reverse the policies of allowing women into combat and spec ops units.

Fantastic pick.

The pentagon will win bigly with Mattis.

In my darkest hour I sometimes fear I will do something General Mattis won't like.

Oh and IIRC, McCain said he would easily get a waiver from Congress on the 7 year rule to serve as SecDef if he's nominated.

Can't fricking wait to have a leader in the Pentagon who has walked in the footsteps of the rank and file members of the military instead of dumbass corporate bureaucrats who don't know shite about effective military cohesion and orderliness and has never spent a second in even one ROTC high school class.

Wow. I'm surprised there is not one post about how this is neocon imperialist insanity. Because, if this same guy was saying the same shite under Dubya, that's probably what I would be saying.
