You're either in favour of pointless oil wars, or you're a pussy. Good to know.

When that man was announced for Secretary of Defense, all I heard was ... http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/001/005/346/56c.jpg
KDXD
I like him.
theGrantimus
1/2 I think Mattis is significantly more pragmatic than these quotes give him credit for.
theGrantimus
2/2 Certain people only show these quotes because they think war is exactly like Call of Duty.
SuperUse
He should be president
possum666
He's got my vote.
wiseidiot9
I'm STILL curious if he took that quote from Sniper. #1
SaveThePanzer
His quote predates it.
DonTeis195
I am totally ok with this choice.
anw6553
What if you're protesting war and you've been to war?
Claystead
Then you're a trans! Because you've got both the balls and the puss.
Habreon
obviously everyone should support every war for any reason.
TroutYabo
Love it.

If being against the war in Iraq makes me a pussy, then me-freakin-ow.

My father fought in Vietnam because he "wasn't a pussy." But he's been anti-war his whole life. Mad dog obviously hasn't met men like him
VBStrong67
Always upvote Mad Dog
PiusCBuenzli
i get it, most US politicians are Dumbfuck psychopats..
stinkysteve
Being anti-war does not mean you are anti-soldier.
RepostSadistic
But anti-war protesters who yell at soldiers are anti-soldier. Go yell at generals and politicians.
stinkysteve
I agree.

meet? theres been 100s fucking posts about him. i've seen him so often on here i could pick out his asshole in a pic of a million assholes
SqueakShow
"Pick out his asshole". That sounds way grosser than it is.
WWisLife
Where are these asshole pics? I'm asking for a friend....

Crowlands
This is literally the only Trump pick I've seen that ISN'T horrifying. And oh hey! HE'S the one I've seen the media freaking out about.
theGrantimus
What media? Where?
Crowlands
Mostly online. The Young Turks kicked up a massive fuss about it.
ricearoni69
Noone realize the first one is also a quote from the tf2 sniper right. Or am I the only one
Nuttsy
Now go and do nothing but have a long hard think about who had it first. After 6 hours, you may go and google it.
terrasono
Lmaoooooo, an officer doing work like the grunts?
sleetewayne
I'm really wanting a St Mattis painting now.
OriginalSandman
Google it, you can buy them.
sleetewayne
Unfortunately they are posters. I'm gonna need a down right proper oil painting done.
OriginalSandman
Ah. Well in that case I recommend commissioning one.
BathTubGinger
Aw why so many down votes
darkskies582
Can we just impeach everyone until he's president?

the literal ONLY good choice trump made
fuck123456789
People who want to downvoted, suggest to me any other picks that are good
fuck123456789
still think his ideas about Iran are a bit wrong

#3 makes him seem like a bit of a dick, to be honest.

flamingflamingo
This guy actually scares me. I get how he appeals to the America FUCK YEAH mentality but these are not healthy perspectives.
Strikyre
He's a career solider who loves the things he does and would rather the entire profession not need to exist. Nobody boils down to quotes.
asotzen
Go watch some of his interviews. He believes in cooperation among states. He believes in reading and professional development for individual
asotzen
I've met this man. Worked with this man. He is an fair minded, intelligent professional. I think it would surprise you.
BathTubGinger
Yeah, but how is he in the sack? I bet rough.
YourMomsNewBoyfriend
These quotes make him seem way less sane than he is. As a liberal, one of several appointments that isn't a disaster.
Claystead
However, he too has a bit of a Putin-flirt going on. Perhaps nothing worth noting normally, but it does make him more likely to go along wit
DrivingTheBus
As a fellow liberal, I completely agree.
Lefpa
As a liberal, I like this old-looking Eminem
flamingflamingo
I don't know, as another liberal, I feel like I agree more with your first statement and less with your second. He DOESN'T seem sane.
GarthOneeye
am I the only one that can see the poor language skills in these comments?
YourMomsNewBoyfriend
Watch his confirmation hearing. Not a lot men alive with as much respect for the collateral of war and necessity of peace.
YourMomsNewBoyfriend
There's a reason it was a bipartisan decision to waive a law stating he couldn't yet be sec def.

You mean old Eminem? (Assuming he ages)

Administer of Offense. He is secretary to no one.

i bet this isn't really Donald Trump
TotallyTrustworthyInternetPerson
He is actually exactly what I want in a Secretary of Defense. He doesn't need to be politically correct, he just needs to kick ass.
KagiroKasuri
Question though, isn't he super anti-Muslim, or was that another media thing?
YourMemeSucksHarderThanaDyson
You do realize that our aggressive actions that were the biggest recruitment tool for ISIS and other terrorists. Some balance would be nice.
TCTom
Damn right. Be lethal. Be fast.
superkuper
Amen
MaxZimuss
And he was approved overwhelmingly by both parties.
nonamejanie
I agree so much.
TraitorousTrump3
I hope he has a plan to kill the new CIA director. That guy is a fucking lunatic.
PacificKnight
I like him a lot too, he shows respect for his enemies but at the same time doesn't show any weakness.
rabiddutchman
Agreed. He's supremely qualified, and his position of "Try and avoid war, but be unstoppable in waging it" is exactly the right mindset.
jtb1313
Like all things in life be frugal as often as you can but know when you should spend extra for quality items
Pseudosim
Considering the marines were probably still getting cast off shit from the other services when he joined, he probably knows that well.

I thought the job was more about military oversight? Don't we have other people in the actual military for the ass-kicking?
pravetz
SO out of curiosity - what would you hope he does? It sounds like you like his attitude, but what will he do that will be different?
derekjohn
I hope,for everybody's sake,he keeps america safe for the next 4 years because I have no faith in the rest of the administration's judgement
Phunk08
Focus on directing the military in military endeavours not social justice experiments like lax standard females in combat arms.
underthegaydar
You're just a bigot.
Phunk08
Combat arms roles involve very physically demanding things like carrying someone 250+ while in full combat load. More important that socjus.
residentolive
The Marines have the same physical standards for men and women in combat positions...
Phunk08
That's news to me, and that's very good for them I suppose if they can carry their own pack... I just have memories of carrying their packs.
DrSkyhammer
women weren't previously allowed to attempt all positions....

Finally, someone who can appreciate my humor.
usernamesarewack
Found the person who doesn't understand collateral damage breeds hate that finds it's way back to our doorstep.
TotallyTrustworthyInternetPerson
Weakness finds its way back. That's why we are having more terrorist attacks than ever before. I'd rather face the enemy with strength.
kasaku
Now I'm confused, because I knew that a long time ago, way back when I protested that last war that bred more hate.
usernamesarewack
I meant OP but your downvotes are for you to bear!
kasaku
This place is weird.
gcampbell13
Just wanna point out that communism is a much worse and lethal ideology than facism. Hitler has 6million deaths. Stalin had near 60million.
kasaku
6 million Jews. 10 million dead in the Holocaust. ~30 million if you include the war deaths. And all in about a decade. 1/2
kasaku
Stalin wasn't 60M. 40M top over 40 years including famines that weren't intentional. Fascism was far worse. 2/2
gcampbell13
"Famine that wasnt intentional" you do realize why Russia went through a famine right?
gcampbell13
Communism in its own roots is an "Us vs Them" ideology. Your enemies are anyone that doesnt agree with you.
kasaku
You don't know very much about Communism.
gcampbell13
I know very muc about communism, but ill play your game. "You dont know much about facism"
shhep
If I was American, I'd probably want someone who isn't military to have position designed to be "civilian oversight". Especially if my
TheArcticAC
That kind of thinking is how Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq all turned into trainwrecks.
GenericUsernameIsAlreadyTaken
Glad you're not American because that's a stupid way to think and we have plenty of stupid over here already.
BicyclePirate
Strange, because civilian oversight of the military has been a long American tradition. Did you learn civics in a charter school?
GenericUsernameIsAlreadyTaken
Just because its tradition doesn't mean it isn't stupid.
Big8ooty8iches
"yknow who should control war shit in a country that gets in a lot of fights? someone with no experience" thats how we elected trump bud
shhep
But he does POLITICS, not "war shit?" You have generals for that for fuck's sake. Did you even read his job description?
Big8ooty8iches
What, Trump? He has zero POLITICAL experience, and hes a POLITICIAN. I compared that to a SOD with no WAR experience. Good try though, buddy
shhep
I mean SECRETARY OF DEFENSE, not a cheeto person
frankthetankftw
The President of the United States is the Commander in Chief, which means, he is the highest ranking officer of the combined forces, 1/2
frankthetankftw
So yeah, he needs a sec def who knows what the fuck he's doing. 2/2

*checks* Isis isn't fictional, and Al Qaeda wasn't faked. I guess you must be incorrect then.
shhep
Al Qaeda attacked you BECAUSE of your military strength and presence, wouldn't you agree?
shhep
country is as devoted to military as USA. Do you guys REALLY need more military in your lives?
Thatcreepykidinthebackofthrclassroom
I see where you are coming from, but we use it to establish power and when one person has significantly more power than the others it (1/2)
Thatcreepykidinthebackofthrclassroom
Helps keep the peace, think of it like the Romans during the time of Pax Romana. A time of peace because there was none to challenge (2/3)

Them. But once Rome fell the other nations fought amongst themselves for the power leading to an era of constant conflict.
