From ZH: 16 Quotes of Mattis the left will no doubt go looney over. Keep in mind these quotes were probably made mostly to soldiers in training or battlefield conditions, but the left will take it as dinner conversation of a lunatic. Me? I'm happy there's a real fucking jar head being put in place. Ooorah.

13. “You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn’t wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain’t got no manhood left anyway. So it’s a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them. Actually it’s quite fun to fight them, you know. It’s a hell of a hoot. It’s fun to shoot some people. I’ll be right up there with you. I like brawling.”
(CNN)

(Mattis’ Letter To 1st Marine Division)
 
No objection to this general from me, so long as he remembers he's not in charge of government. He's got to remember the valor of his boss, the man battle-hardened on the killing fields of "sex in the 80s", whose "personal Vietnam" (avoiding venereal disease) made him a "great and very brave soldier".
:D
 
He's a jar head. They don't come in "nice" flavors. But if you need a friend on the battlefield, there is no one more devoted to the cause and they will literally go until they break down.
 
If you want to temper Trumps impulsiveness, put a man like that in charge of the military. I'd be afraid to cuss around him.
No,NO, no, I meant shit not shoot!
 
You don't get a nickname like "the Duke" or "Iron Mike" by accident. Same with "Mad Dog."

I wonder what his position on transsexual perverts commanding combat units will be?
 
This General demonstrates Toxic Masculinity in our society today. I'd rather have a military general that goes on the battlefield and explains to terrorists on how we can be STRONGER TOGETHER!

It TAKES A VILLAGE to radicalize a young islamic refugee dreamer who dreams of becoming an Engineer! Those dreams are quickly destroyed by racist white males. The only option left is to grab a knife and run wild on campus. Did you get the point? I don't work for Verizon but "can you hear me now!".

And if he thinks global warming is the greatest threat to the security of the US.
 
so the US gives the guy a life and chance to go to college and all it took was a toxic culture to turn him into a killer of innocents.

you think that culture was US?
