Bunkerboi says (re Mattis) "Glad he is gone!"

[Leghorn21]

Probably the only thing Barack Obama & I have in common is that we both had the honor of firing Jim Mattis, the world’s most overrated General. I asked for his letter of resignation, & felt great about it. His nickname was “Chaos”, which I didn’t like, & changed to “Mad Dog”....

...His primary strength was not military, but rather personal public relations. I gave him a new life, things to do, and battles to win, but he seldom “brought home the bacon”. I didn’t like his “leadership” style or much else about him, and many others agree. Glad he is gone!

1. Not Mad Dog Mattis?

2. Trump is an idiot.

Mattis, like him or not, served his country honorably for decades. Trump only serves himself with no honor whatsoever.

He is useless and worthless.

3. He definitely didn't write that. lol

4. What a crock, in so many ways, as usual.

First, Obama did not fire Mattis. Leon Panetta and Mattis, who was the head of Central Command at the time, did not agree on aspects of the administration's Iran policy, but Mattis was not fired. He retired from the Marines in 2012. And he acquired the "Mad Dog" nickname as long ago as 2004, although Trump has claimed credit for it. https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2019/03/03/trump-claims-he-coined-the-nickname-mad-dog-mattis/

12. Whenever/however Trump is finally gone, many republicans will have a retroactive epiphany.

7. Bad move, Donnie. Bad move.

8. Trump better be careful here, General Mattis is revered

by the Marines.

Trump is a joke in comparison - a joke that will not be found particularly funny.

9. Just to let you know

I have appropriated Bunkerboi

11. I'm willing to bet that Gen Mattis is glad he's gone too!

When the door shuts, another opens. If what Dimwit Donnie says is even questionably true, some corporate personhood will welcome his "tough" style and service skills and/or phone directory, LOL!
