It appears so. He certainly has the "looks." I don't know what it is but if I saw him in his pajamas I could tell he is military. This is a great piece on him. My favorite quote?


"Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet."

I like this one.

"I come in peace. I didn't bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you f--k with me, I’ll kill you all."

It's hard to take any military guy seriously when you look at all the useless wars/invasions/coups that have been waged with disasterous results since WWII. He's got the perfect attitude...

It's the Commander-In-Chief (i.e. the President) who starts the wars, not the generals.

True. But he still sounds like someone who is deserving of my ridicule.

If you have to have a defense department you might as well put someone in charge who is taken seriously. Tell me this. With Trump as the commander in chief and Mattis at DoD, you think the Iranians would circle our ships and taunt us again?

More war mongering and useless wars piled on to the debt. Who pays? The 99%. The donor class laughs all the way to the bank.
