I wonder if this is in response to Trump pulling troops out of Syria and Afghanistan, or if that's his last action before leaving. Either way, it all seems connected. My guess is he objected to a sudden and massive withdrawal and Trump didn't care because it was a campaign promise.

This is pretty bad news because Mattias was actually a pretty reasonable guy.

It's probably more of a case of "This dumb fuck is ignoring everything I say and when shit goes south I don't want him to be able to blame me for it."

This is almost certainly a direct reaction in response to Trump's intent to pull from Syria and Afghanistan.

Considering Trump had to scrape the very bottom of the barrell for his next CoS, I'm dreading what sort of pond scum he's going to dig up to become the next Defense Secretary.

I'm an Afghan vet, I'm proud of what we did over there. Better to fight terrorism there than here.

And if you notice Trump recently Trump has been refining the military budget. The swamp loves war so they can get those fat defense company checks.

This is step one to lowering the defense budget

So you know better than Mattis and other military advisors? Mattis has put up with a LOT of Trump's bullshit. He wouldn't resign unless there was damn good reason that this decision of Trump's was monumentally stupid

The "adults in the room" idea was always flawed, as they didn't seem to do much to stop Trump (nor do you really want open cabinet revolt...) but on the bright side, it's harder for congresspeople to point to the adults who are still in the room.

Literally any president COULD do it. There's more reasons why we shouldn't according to the US military and General Mattis. I'll take their word before Stephen Miller and Trump, who is falling apart and desperate for any kind of short term win

Gen.Mattis has served our nation with great distinction. He will not be easy to replace.

For the sake of our national security I hope his decision to resign was motivated solely by a desire to enjoy a well deserved retirement.
