Good Evening Clo!
Mattis is cool. You don't become a General in the Marine Corps unless you are brilliant and stable.
His record of service is exemplary.
I would expect and suspect that Mattis won't let Trump anywhere near authority over the military.
The US military is run from the Starbucks and Baskin-Robbins on the 3rd Ring across the Potomac at the Pentagon.
Two hundred and forty one years and counting Clo and the Long Gray Line has never failed us. It never will.
Mattis is sixty six years old and is taking the job because service to the country is his life's mission.
In the Army they told us all the time if there was a really shitty job, give it to a Marine.
