| General Mattis letter to the troops |
| 2017-01-25 |
| [MIL.COM] "He’s a leader by example," retired Sgt. Maj. of the Marine Corps Carlton Kent told Business Insider in December. "He’s not the type that’s 'do as I say, not as I do.' He's out there doing it." Mattis kept his message short and sweet, praising the people who make up the DoD, calling America a "beacon of hope," and pledging that he would do his best as Defense Secretary. Here's the full letter: 'It’s good to be back and I’m grateful to serve alongside you as Secretary of Defense. Together with the Intelligence Community we are the sentinels and guardians of our nation. We need only look to you, the uniformed and civilian members of the Department and your families, to see the fundamental unity of our country. You represent an America committed to the common good; an America that is never complacent about defending its freedoms; and an America that remains a steady beacon of hope for all mankind. Every action we take will be designed to ensure our military is ready to fight today and in the future. Recognizing that no nation is secure without friends, we will work with the State Department to strengthen our alliances. Further, we are devoted to gaining full value from every taxpayer dollar spent on defense, thereby earning the trust of Congress and the American people. I am confident you will do your part. I pledge to you I’ll do my best as your Secretary.' MATTIS SENDS |

| #2 Saint Mattis of Quantico is going to be the best thing that ever happened for the American people and the military. It will be interesting to see how all of these perfumed warriors that the empty suit put into the flag ranks are going to last. And I wonder if all of those fine soldiers that the empty suit forced out will be invited back in...we need them now more than ever. I hope this is the end of the social engineering of the military. |
