#1 He's getting ready to 'ruck up' and move on. Celebrate the man's numerous contributions and prepare the drop zone for the next man or woman's arrival. A lengthy bemoaning of Mattis' departure is not healthy. It's the attitude of a feather merchant, not a warrior.

#7 ...reminds me of I, Claudius. After the Praetorians set Claudius on the throne and before the assembled Senators, said he didn't want the job but he got it anyway and if the Senate objected they should explain it to them (the Pretorians). Great scene.
