Political discussions about everything

johnny, it is irrelevant what makes a general want to retire.

The point is, what made this general want to quit. His resignation letter doesn't mention anything about retiring. It only talks about why and when he is quitting.

Didn't you notice that his resignation letter glaringly fails to thank Trump for the opportunity to serve while it criticizes Trump's disrespect of our allies and the Trump policy of weakening our defense organizations like NATO.

johnny, read the resignation letter and get a clue about how dangerous Mattis thinks Trump is.

After a full military career, there are many reasons why a general would want to move on to civilian life.

First, he may want to avail himself of Boards of Directors -- a classic way in which retired generals cash in.

Secondly, anybody who knows D.C. knows that working in any White House is a pressure cooker, and turnover is high.

Were it otherwise, Obama would not have gone through four Defense secs.

Only that isn't the kind of man Mattis is, johnny. He's not in it for the money. He's never been in it for the money.

But it's funny that you aren't using the phony 'retirement' dodge any longer.

Now you're saying he wants another job. Which means he quit. :lol:

And he's never been afraid of the pressure cooker either.

He told you why he quit but you refuse to listen to him for some reason.

What actually happened: Mattis resigned because Trump is an absolute moron.
Mattis retired because he's an old fart that has always had people jump when he spoke and his boss didn't jump. Trump is spot on, when Europe exploded about the announced American pull out Syria, Trump told them "We carried the weight for several years, feel free to step in if you really feel it's worth the costs and loss of your citizens' lives" Silence from Europe.

Two of Obama's defense secretaries wrote critical books, a third was essentially fired, the fourth had difficulty.

John Forbes circles back to Obama and Hillary as predictably as the night follows the day and the day follows the night.

I did circle back to historical perspective.

Most presidents end up differing with their Secs of State and Defense.

Two of Obama's defense secretaries wrote critical books, a third was essentially fired, the fourth (Ash Carter, who had a PhD but no military service) had difficulty.
