You gotta be kidding.
Why are you getting so hysterical over this old man?
I've known many veterans who have killed many, many people, confirmed. And Mattis probably hasn't. So what?
Quoting: SamReed No ass-hat, I’m not kidding, and you clearly have NO military combat experience or you would understand the crucial importance of having a man with REAL
LEADERSHIP ABILITY directing an operation.
Many of our military have been killed as a direct result of an inept and ineffective commander. You have no idea how the morale and effectiveness of a military unit is directly affected by its LEADERSHIP.
The Marines understand that more than any other branch, and they respect Mattis for his ability to effectively lead and motivate men into combat.
I’ve personally served under weak and ineffective men, and I’ve personally seen how dangerous it is for their subordinates.
I’ve personally taken an Article 15 for disobeying a direct order because I knew it was the WRONG order.
You NO-military-experience asswipes are denigrating a great military leader because he doesn’t have “confirmed kills”??
Ask any combat Marine who has served under Mad Dog Mattis if he would agree with you that Mattis is “just an armchair general”.
