Donald Trump’s Secretary of Defense means business.
The recently retired General James Mattis didn’t get his nickname “Mad Dog” for beating around the bush. Much like Donald Trump, Mattis tells it like it is. Perhaps that’s why Trump was willing to nominate him to the Defense Secretary post despite the fact that he is technically ineligible. According to federal law, one cannot serve as the head of the Pentagon if he or she have served in the military in the past seven years. Mattis retired from his post in 2013.
Take a look at some of the generals previous quotes and you’ll see why Trump made the pick anyway — and why congress seems willing to make an exception for the impressive nominee. He’s tough as nails and has a quick and clever wit.
His best remarks range from comments on war protestors to woman beaters. See them on the next page:
Yes it is
There is a reason the position is supposed to be civilian. MacArthur almost got us into a war with China. Erratic Generals are dangerous.
There is a reason the two Generals were retired. They were undisciplined. Want that in charge of the military?
David Miley yep that$#%&!@*in the whitehouse for 18 more days
Good reasoning. Moron.
Trump will have the very best minds and abilities as cabinet members and department heads. We need a shake up in Wash. DC, so take a liberal breather and wait and see rather than rally now to fight everything he mentions…..it’s exhausting for everybody, and getting old.
They were retired because they didn’t agree with$#%&!@*Obama.
No the way they did it. Rump doesn’t need them he knows everything.
DAMN, WHAT A MAN! I LIKE this MAN! If I was 50 years younger, I’d drop everything and enlist in the Marine Corps for 30 years, IF I could serve my time under HIM! A REAL MAN after my own heart!
Still hoping his being our general spokesman and speaking tours are limited. Funny non-PC stuff. Hell he’s got 10,000 years to tell it.
