I couldn’t care less about mattis. Only brought him up because he was in the news today. But did I get that right about why he was fired. If so, why are we still over there? I thought trump announced we were withdrawing everyone


There is trillions of dollars worth of assets over there and pulling the military out will lose money for a lot of politicians. Its not as easy as it sounds.

Why do you think Mattis is so upset? He would lose money if we pulled out.

Trump announced it last October.... we only had about 1000 troops there at that point. If he wasn’t going to withdraw them all, he shouldn’t have made the big announcement.
