doesn t think is overrated is who you pointed out, martin, and that s colonel sanders. that part there an attempt at humor, but since we played the other bite, i want to move on to the next point. secretary mattis there, we ll see if this is a one-off. admiral mcraven has led this successful raid to capture osama bin laden and has been critical of the president in the past. he wrote an op-ed and went on the lead with jake tapper the other day, and what he said about the commander in chief is eye opening. he s a transit president. he believes it s only good if it s good for us. but he forgets we re the same nation that fought naziism, fascism and terrorism, and we did it not because it was good for us but because it was the right thing to do. if we re going to be the good guys, it s going to be important to join the intelligence community, the military, any part of the federal government where those values are so
