Civilians, not generals, are in charge of what our military does and where.
My taxes are paying guys to go all over the world to fight wars that have nothing to do with the USA. I say stop it.
Nobody even knows what is going on in Syria, at least I don't and I don't care to learn.
Trump sees how China engages the world and they're doing it the sneaky way, stealing intellectual property from us and doing other forms of economic warfare against us.
Mattis is a soldier, so of course he is against not using force. "To a hammer, everything looks like a nail."
Trump is looking better not worse as he gets used to the office. Why should a guy in the Pentagon determine our foreign policy?
Mattis will live off a rich millionaire's pension and probably write a book then disappear in due time.
Hasta la vista baby

Now time for Europe to send all those "refugees" back to help rebuild their homeland.

It's wonderful.
Let ISIS, Hezbollah, Assad, Russia, the Muslim Brotherhood "Democratic Rebels" (so long as it's an Islamic Republic with Sharia as the font of law and all parties subject to approval by a board of Clerics), Turkey, Kurds, all duke it out.
While we stand by and save lives, money, and prestige, and reduce the chances of a US-Russian incident, which the Deep State Wants Above All. That, and being wrong since the late 70s that Islamic "Republics" can lead to a "Better Middle East". Fuck that.
All the people who backed Iraq, Libya, etc. are backing our continuing ground presence in Syria. Let's stop taking advice from failures, and stop promoting failures upstairs.

When the MSM encourages military adventurism to bash Trump, it's more evidence of what bullshit spewers they are.
James Mattis just cut the world's safety net.
The defense secretary's decision to quit Thursday was a warning that will ring through history about an impulsive President who spurns advice, disdains America's friends and proudly repudiates the codes of US leadership that have endured since World War II.
