Gen James Mattis is a hero for his strong rebuke of Trump's chaotic style.
Great resignation letter too.

[mrbillsrecords]

Translation: Mattis is saying Trump is batshit crazy and he has had enough!

[Williethewhipp]

He should have seen Trump was a nut when he called him Mad Dogg

[jerminnigor]

I love how people are praising a warhawk for leaving over the fact that we didn't get to do regime change in Syria.

[edmsing]

The Leader of the Free World, Angela Merkel, leaving office,
now the resignation of Defense Secretary James Mattis, I don’t know how many blows
of competency western civilization is supposed to endure before falling into a
sea of confused mush.

Turns out the ‘Mad Dog’ is actually the sane one.

[chasejackson]

Mad dog "war monger" Mattis.

[corrinetsang]

General Mattis resigned becaused our allies, the Syrian Kurds are left to fend for itself against Turkey.

[baddboi]

Mad Dog for president in 2020! Mad dog 20/20 has a great sound to it!

[Batznblkcatz]

Trump wants all the troops home for when martial law comes along. Plus it makes Putin happy, to leave Syria like that.

[bryanblack]

Mattis opposed the US leaving the Paris Accord, he opposed the U.S. leaving the Iranian agreement, he opposed the move of the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem...GOOD RIDDANCE!

[beniciodelavega]

He shouldn’t have resigned. He should instead insist on his views at a time when the country needs him most.

Da Gen.James N. Mattis este un erou. Dar înțelept, loaial colaboratorilor, onest, este un geniu! Un gînditor! Învățăturile excelenței sale vor fi lumina tuturor marilor lideri! Este iubit și apreciat de o națiune, a căștigat încrederea universală!

I'm begging to think that maybe some of these correspondents should do some opiods to realize how stupid they sound. Not to mention, one of the presidents main reasons for standing his ground is because of the influx of drugs coming over the border that's killing off our future

[barrychmak]

Mad dog leaving the Mafia gang. Good for you .... General.

[kurtvonfricken]

Obama fired Mattis in 2013. Why is his resignation a big deal?

[VicteurLee]

Hmm.... Should Trump align with Mattis' view or should have?

[simplethings]

The space force wouldn't be a branch but a command.

[Seraphim]

Gen. Mattis is a great commander and leader to our armed forces. Thank you for your service.

[kerryjones]

wtf could you imagine a private saying, general I don’t agree with your views.
