Gen Mattis, is the most well read soldier in the last 100 years, He has the GREAT ability to read and learn from history, If you dont learn the mistakes of history, Then you are DAMNED to repeat those mistakes, As a EX-Australian Infantry soldier who has had awesome leaders to follow, May i say its more than past time for the USA to have a General(Sec Defence) with the Skills and understanding as Gen Mattis .

În orice timp, orice ar înfăptui, Grandiosul general James N. Mattis, va fi dedicat națiunii sale, va fi prieten al adevărului și al lucrului bine făcut! Va fi ghidul celor ce le caută! Excelența sa are o cultură vastă! Aplică pacea minții. Își guvernează viața! Gândește corect! A cucerit o națiune, este cel mai venerat dintr o generație de pușcași marini! Să vă bucurați de viață lungă! Sunteți un geniu!

I served in the USAF. I hang out with Marines at the VA hospital. My dad was a Marine. I do wish I would have joined the Marines. Not saying I am not proud of my service though. But the Marines are a closer family.
