respect for general mattis, no question about that. i also recognize where the president is going and where the intersection needs to be. is he going to leave levels of troops in afghanistan. you know we have way more troops in iraq. we scaled it down. that was incorrect decision by the obama administration. had to be scaled back up. but, you know, we were supposed to be in syria for a few months. now it's been three years and it's this drag. i will point out that what john f. kennedy once said you have to be careful. we have a military industrial complex that's established and, you know, the impulse is to fight. but sometimes better impulse is not to fight. think of what john kennedy did in those cabinet meetings during the cuban missile crisis. curtis la may wanted to wipe out cuba. kennedy asked him how big would the casualties be 150 people. he looked over at his brother and said we call this a human race? i admire and respect the president having restrains.
