Quiet a pleasant surprise to have Secretary Mattis give this presentation! Truly a great American.

A rare senior leader who is arguably the most qualified American to lead & shape our Defense strategy.  Just go & read the 2018 NDS.  It is a window into his brilliant mind!

Once again an amazing educational speech by the top US Secretary of Defense, Jim Mattis
I would love to volunteer going around the world with you and learning the world from your eyes. I'm sure I would come home with a new view of what our Allies truly think about the United States and the part we pay in keeping World Peace!
