He was forced out early by Obama because he rubbed civilian officials the wrong way over Iran. Deplorable. Called the greatest Marine in a generation.
"I’m going to plead with you, do not cross us. Because if you do, the survivors will write about what we do here for 10,000 years.”
“Demonstrate to the world there is ‘No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy’ than a U.S. Marine.”
“No war is over until the enemy says it’s over. We may think it over, we may declare it over, but in fact, the enemy gets a vote.”
“Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet.” - said to Marines in Iraq
"I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you frick with me, I’ll kill you all.”
"Find the enemy that wants to end this experiment (in American democracy) and kill every one of them until they’re so sick of the killing that they leave us and our freedoms intact.”
The last one is EXACTLY what the U.S. ARMED FORCES is supposed to be. Glad we have someone in charge who understands that.

These quotes don't tell the whole story of the man. He is a very well-read, scholarly and thoughtful man. He is a learned man.

Will be blocked by the Democrats.

Doubtful. If they ever want to have any hope of winning an election again, this is the one appointment they better not try to derail.

Yes. I know. I put a post up about how well read he is yeaterday.
He also talked Trump out of the stupidity of torture. He is exactly who we need. Someone who knows what they are doing, can be even keeled and merciful, but who can drop the hammer when appropriate.
If Democrats block him, they are crazy. With 25 seats up in 2018, moves like that over nothing would be stupid. Mattis is an American hero.

The art of the deal will be on display for this one.

They can oppose Sessions and not pay a price. They gain nothing by fighting Mattis.

And to think you didn't vote for Trump to help him make a choice like this.
Your excitement is only possible because other people made it possible for you.
Ungrateful.

Would be stupid to try.
Trump can always put someone in there that's much worse than Mattis and is not subject to a 60 vote congressional waiver that needs 8 democrat votes.

I thought the same thing when Trump made fun of McCain for being captured. Maybe the dems should start insulting veterans. Might revitalize. Seems to work for Trump.

Torture has its place. I would never take torture off of the table. That's just me. I don't give a frick.

They'll sling snot and look like fools - as usual, but Sessions will be confirmed.
