mobb_deep 917 Posted December 20, 2018 It's weird that a very stable genius would have such a hard time keeping employees. It's almost as if he's a very unstable moron. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EternalShinyAndChrome 2,515 Posted December 20, 2018 This is weird, because my Google News Feed had their version of this titled: "Mathis quits citing policy differences". Making it sound like he quit TODAY. However, if Trump lost Mathis, he might lose me. I respect Mathis too much to let this one slide. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's no person I'd trust more than him when it comes to the military and defending home. This is by far the worst thing President Trump's done since he's been in office (and it's fairly well documented how much of an embarrassment I think President Trump has been).

I didn't say you couldn't criticize him. You called him a cuck, which is directly calling his manhood into question. There's 0% doubt in anyone's mind that he knows more about what's best for the military than you do. I completely trust that his decision to do diversity training and allow transgenders into the military was in the best interest of the nation. As for your second question, calling someone who is about as manly as a man can be a cuck on the internet is an internet tough guy move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry but sending transgenders into active combat isn't whats best for the military, its social justice. He also wasted 50+ million on diversity training. Both stupid.

TimmySmith 2,782 Posted December 22, 2018 Mattis is a globalist who wanted a permanent for the foreseeable future encampment in Syria. Makes sense, if you are a military man. Much like Patton wanting to go after Russia, it's the right decision from a military standpoint. Trump said no and Mattis is taking his ball and going home. A dumb and prideful decision. He should be ashamed. ETA: everytime someone leaves the chicken little snowflakes go crazy. Cemeteries are full of indispensable men. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trump has been vocal about pulling out of Syria for nearly a year. We will have overstayed his pronounced exit time limit by 5 months when we pull out. Mattis quitting is a puzzy move. On top of everything else, despite Mattis' blubbering, the military role of U.S. in Syria won't really change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
