General Jim Mattis will be retiring, with distinction, at the end of February, after having served my Administration as Secretary of Defense for the past two years. During Jim’s tenure, tremendous progress has been made, especially with respect to the purchase of new fighting....

....equipment. General Mattis was a great help to me in getting allies and other countries to pay their share of military obligations. A new Secretary of Defense will be named shortly. I greatly thank Jim for his service!

I'm guessing he doesn't support pulling out of Syria.

He disagreed with the pullout in Syria and this might mean the rumors about Afghanistan are true.

And so, the only Cabinet member left worth a damn is gone.

Mattis is alright but remember he is the one who pressured Trump to sign Omnibus citing military concerns and doesn't agree with our troop pullouts in the ME.

Isn’t there usually cabinet changes following a midterm election?

I recall bush and obama saw some shuffling after first midterms

No he doesn’t. He loves interacting with troops, and this job allows him to do it.
