quote:

Secretary of Defense James Mattis received media criticism this week after commending Navy sailors in a speech earlier in the month for not being "pussies."


quote:

You will have some of the best days of your life and some of the worst days of your life in the U.S. Navy, you know what I mean?" Mattis told sailors at Naval Base Kitsap, Washington, according to the official transcript. "That means you're living."

"That means you're not some pussy sitting on the sidelines, you know what I mean, kind of sitting there saying, ‘Well, I should have done something with my life,'" he continued.




quote:

In response to his speech, NBC News complained that "Defense Secretary Mattis Uses Disparaging Term in Speech to Navy," comparing his remarks to Trump's comments on the infamous Access Hollywood tape about grabbing women "by the pussy."


quote:

Newsweek likewise complained that "Defense Secretary Suggests Civilians Are ‘Pussies' for Sitting on the Sidelines."

"Donald Trump's secretary of defense James ‘Mad Dog' Mattis appeared to suggest those who did not serve the country were ‘a bunch of pussies,'" read the lede.




quote:

The Washington Post consulted retired Col. Don Christensen, the head of an anti-sexual assault organization who said that Mattis' comments were "troubling."



I have no words.

The military is too macho. We need to make sure they tone down the testosterone. We need nurturers, not killers. They should be there to hug the world, not destroy it.

Snowflake culture and military culture don't mix.

But I thought that wearing what they referred to openly as "Pussy Hats" was admirable and brave?

Going after Mattis is a loser's game. They'll find that out quickly.

Zach is very respectful of women. He does not use the 'p' word. I refer to that area as 'the promised land.'

This is why I hate most media outlets. They twist headlines so far out of context that you aren't even reading real news anymore. One might even say it's...fake news.

They couldn't have picked a more unflappable, badass man to pick a fight with. I hope they continue to pursue this. Middle America will love it.

Not sure if Mattis has any daughters, but can you imagine meeting that dude for the first time?
