I guess fascists don't give a shit about that.

Go figure.

Um, this is hardly the first time a former member of the military would become SecDef. LOL

He's an Islamophobe who wants to void the Iran agreement.  He's supposed to wait 7 years after retirement to serve as Secretary of Defense.  A waiver will be required for him to accept the position.  Did you even read the article?

Iran has already voided and violated it. You're a bit dense on Foreign Policy. Unless it's about driving a school bus, you just aren't competent.

You are just a pure genius, I guess.  How dare you call me incompetent!  What a pathetic rube.

As you know...LOL...General Mattis resigned three years ago because of his differences with Commander in Chief Barack Hussein Obama.  Rather than carrying out the flawed instruction of Commander Obama, he did the right thing and resigned.

My informed guess is that the Rules of Engagement will change significantly when Donald Trump and General Mattis are leading our war on terror.

You do know that we won the invasion of Iraq and, being the failure he is, Lame Duck President Barack Hussein Obama seized defeat from the jaws of VICTORY.

A victory which cost some 4,000 American lives.  Apparently, the only thing that matters to you is which head of the two parties screwed up the most.  Too bad you don't care about your country . . which is still paying for and fighting that war, and a few others which we obviously have no plans to win.  How appropriate that Mad Dog is back in the saddle again ...

Please explain why president-elect Trump is thumbing his nose at the Chinese by meeting with officials from Taiwain? Why is he including his children in meetings with foreign dignitaries?
