No more Mattis soon.

[kpt018]

I made a post talking about a joke my brother and I made yesterday. The poster who replied to me made the outlandish claim that it didn't happen.

I stole the line from Jordan Peterson

Hilarious

"I know more about Isis than the Generals!"

We'll soon see...

Here’s how rough this is.

If anyone has served or is friends with multiple people from different branches they know one thing the Air Force, army, and Navy is unified on....

They rip.... CONSTANTLY..... on Marines being degenerate dumbshits that eat crayons and take the ASVAB with a crayon set and use a sledgehammer to repair their M4s the same way Jeremy Clarkson uses one to “fix” electrical problems in his cars.

All that said, to know how those that were military almost UNANIMOUSLY don’t make those same jokes about Mattis. He’s basically worshipped as a God by Marines and the other branches all respect him and were excited he was picked to be SecDef.

My friends who served and I are all in a big facebook messenger stream.

As soon as the news came out the 10 responses from my buddy were all varying forms of:
“Fuck, this isn’t good”

And none of them served as a Marine

No shit there I was in a hanger in an austere location:

Sec Def Mattis briefing some people on something regarding the Middle East. Finally a quick Q & A comes up and there's a bunch of scripted strategic questions about this or that around the world from people picked to ask "the man" a question. Finally this gangly sergeant (national guard) fires off a true gem.

It went like this: "Uh sir, I have two questions first I don't do anything here, so I don't know why my state deployed me here. Uh second, I don't understand what we're doing here."

Mattis stared at him, like an uncomfortable you just wasted my time stare. The whole room was quiet, I could sense every senior NCO in the room wanted to hurt that guy immediately.

Mattis shakes his head, and calmly says, "You'd have to ask your NCO, I'm sure there's an answer."

It's dumb, it's small but it's a story that still makes me laugh and it sucks he's not at the helm anymore. I appreciate that we're leaving Syria - I just wish Trump wasn't so dense, I am completely guessing here but, there had to be a compromise. Mattis wisdom, and knowledge, and level headedness leaving the WH is irreplaceable. You know you've bridged a gap when as a military leader, Micheal Moore gives you praise which he did to Mattis.

But Mattis wasn't second or third or 4th or 5th, it was clearly buried...and the piece on Mattis continued the spin the WH was putting on it, that he was retiring as opposed to the facts of him resigning and the content of his letter, which he printed 50 copies of to be distributed around the DOD... At least today they are taking it as seriously as they need to, with more resignations in protest of Trump's plan expected. It is finally the top story, as opposed to the BUILD THE WALL distraction Trump wants.

Clearly buried??? I showed you it was at the top of the page, what more do you want?

Yeah, all the other articles had large pictures and huge fonts indicating their importance, like the Mattis story is finally getting today, along with the change in focus from it being Mattis riding off into the sunset in retirement to him resigning and spraying a shit mist over Trump's entire conceptualization about the role of the United States in the world.

Mattis 2020

Why not

Mattis 2020

Why not

Tough choice here imo

This is like asking whether engineers should shape the company strategy of car manufacturers and then saying ‘No, the Marketing department should handle that single handedly’.

The next BMW ad will go as follows: get ready, because in 2020, we’re going to release the new Z series which has a max speed of 400 Kms per hour, fully functional wings and turbine engines, and also a lifelike Kim Kardashian’s sex doll who gives you blow jobs while the AI is flying you around the globe.


This is basically what’s happening right now: the amateurs are making insane promises that can’t possibly work or have their intended effect and the experts are standing around wondering what the fuck is happening.

Who is the expert Mattis?

He is a expert at military tactics.

You want a geo-political expert, go fund Satan's spawn, Henry Kissinger. He is qualified to advise on geo-political strategy.

Mattis is not qualified.

So a guy who thought invading Iraq was the right thing to do (and that racing as fast as possible to Baghdad while leaving a 300 mile trail of destruction) is no longer SecDef AND dems and libbies are losing their minds? Sounds like winning.

To be fair, you could be mumbling to a rotten banana while wearing a plastic sack shirt and still think you're winning......

Mattis is not qualified.

But he is widely recognized as a geo political expert. Which is why he is so well respected across the board.

There is a reason his nickname is the warrior monk.

It's the reason a lot of people on both sides of the aisle supported his appointment and are scared to seem him go.

Good fucking riddance

And Trump is?

Mattis 2020

Why not

 

[MiniCraque]

Why is it so hard for the resident idiots to understand that being against a military intervention and being against a sudden withdrawal are not conflicting ideals?

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

Everybody is so awesome until they disagree with Donald Trump and then they're worthless shitbags.

You guys are un-fucking-believable.

You don't like Mattis?

 

[Graves The Elder]

guy seems old and tired.
he deserves a quiet retirement before he dies.

So what you are saying is you just want to pull out nice and slow

Am I wrong here? Are all the troops already back home? Did the space force pick them all up and warp speed them back home?
