I think around 2010 it was assumed he might have been too quick to seek a military solution in IRAN. At first glance seems like a reasonable pick though.
"Whenever you show anger or disgust toward civilians, it's a victory for al-Qaeda and other insurgents."
"Every time you wave at an Iraqi civilian, al-Qaeda rolls over in its grave." James Mattis 2007
Seems to understand the Putin issue and how severe of sign Crimea is. Value of allies. Importance of UN, IMF etc. In favor of two-state solution for Israel.
Only weird thing that popped up was him sitting in the board of Theranos. Guess it's just to pay the bills.
Nobody listened 14 years ago.
We are feeling just as smug today as we did in 2003 when this video was made following our "Victory" in Iraq. The chants of USA, USA by the simple who see this all as some football game.
Still astounds me there is zero anti war sentiment even on college campuses.
There is no better Trump stimulus than the military industrial complex. Carpet bomb them into oblivion.
If you aren't already in Raytheon then you clearly will never understand. Too late to invest at these all time highs and too slow to understand your environment. Time for you to enlist
Edit:
Just recalled the speakers reference to isolationism (14 years ago). "The Wall" is just a isolationist parable related to the simple and weak. If you think there will be a wall you probably think there is an Ark that carried animals two by two sitting on the top of Mt Ararat. The guy who told that story was also a great salesman

Correct on both accounts: There is currently no draft AND young adults have to sign up for "Selective Service". But the later is just filling out a form. Quickly forgotten after the fact. And if the military needs extra troops in a pinch, it just boosts enlistment bonuses, calls up the National Guard units from the states, or recalls previously discharged troops (the backdoor draft). Just like it did during the height of the Ira War. Which meant that the vast majority of college students never had any snippet of a worry they would be drafted.
Anyone who has an issue with James maddog mattis is a communist.
The best Jimmy "Mad Dog" Mathis is the former afternoon drive time DJ on Q95 in Indianapolis.
HILLARY WON
Yea Mattis is an interesting character, I'll have to read up on him later. I didn't realize he had a cult like following.
Has Trump made a final decision on who will to lie us into more war?
Bolton v Guiliani last I heard. Imho Bolton's the better liar plus he has an extensive network of other traitors and operatives that will help generate/sell his deceptions. Neither are credible but since when has that mattered smh.
The McCain/Bolton types are pissed off about Trump being friendly w Russia.
It'll be interesting to see how Trump navigates this tight rope of opposing interests. Neocons Alt Right Russia media lobbyists TPP the Mexicans the wall the Clinton's electoral college fed loans SCOTUS med mj raids torture whistle blowers journalists surveillance NDAA Assange Snowden Putin climage change coal big oil big pharma Obamacare ...
Buckle up!

BD I'm a bit disappointed in you.
Fuck Mad Dog Mattis, bombing Iran may be in Israel's strategic interest (probably not) but there's no doubt it's def not in the strategic interest of the United States. After the Iraq debacle I think it's fair to make that distinction.
Lol @ the delusion in the YT comment section of a Mattis interview.
"Fuck you liberals. You cant handle Mad Dog. I have personally met this man. I would storm the gates of hell, bayonet satan and piss on his corpse for Mattis."
"mother fuking LEGEND! liberal tears will drown a lot of people when Trump appoints this man."
"Hopefully he can unfuck what Obama fucked up in the military and turn it into a killing force again, instead of a progressive social justice experiment."
"Every time I watch General Mattis I see the ghost of General Patton behind him"
"Awesome man! Hey Al Jazeera....check it out, your boy in the White House is gone and I would venture a guess your agency can expect a cruise missile flying through your office window in the VERY NEAR future. Time to reap the whirlwind scumbags."
Tomas Young, Veteran Author of ‘The Last Letter,’ Dies at 34
Chris Hedges wrote about Young and worked with him. The columnist wrote, “Young will die for our sins. He will die for a war that should never have been fought. He will die for the lies of politicians. He will die for war profiteers. He will die for the careers of generals. He will die for a cheerleader press. He will die for a complacent public that made war possible. He bore all this upon his body. He was crucified.”
In his seminal work, Young said, “I write this letter, my last letter, to you, Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney. I write not because I think you grasp the terrible human and moral consequences of your lies, manipulation and thirst for wealth and power. I write this letter because, before my own death, I want to make it clear that I, and hundreds of thousands of my fellow veterans, along with millions of my fellow citizens, along with hundreds of millions more in Iraq and the Middle East, know fully who you are and what you have done. You may evade justice but in our eyes you are each guilty of egregious war crimes, of plunder and, finally, of murder, including the murder of thousands of young Americans—my fellow veterans—whose future you stole.”

The guy joined the marines at 17 or 18 and worked his way up the ranks and became a General. He has no wife or kids, his entire life has been dedicated to the armed forces.
That's good enough for me
Who do you think should get the job?
