general mattis will tell you two things, one, he s doing this for his country and, two, he understands the chain of command. right. but then why does he if that is all the case, why does he come out on television in afghanistan and talk the way he does about these soldiers needing to hold the line because the country s in a very bad place? because that is not respecting the chain of command. because the country is in a very bad place and he didn t talk about the president of the united states directly. like we. general mattis may be more brilliant than all of us because we got what we wanted out of it and the troops got what they wanted out of it and i think actual lich he is ve actually nimble diplomatically.
