General James "Mad Dog" Mattis Reacts To Trump's Categorization As "The World's Most Overrated General"

General James "Mad Dog" Mattis Reacts To Trump's Categorization As "The World's Most Overrated General" | After Trump called Jim Mattis “the world’s most overrated general,” Mattis said he was honored by the remark because Trump “also called Meryl Streep an overrated actress. So I guess I'm the Meryl Streep of generals and frankly that sounds pretty good to me." 
When asked if Trump's disparagement bothered him, he shot back: “Of course not. I have earned my spurs on the battlefield. Donald Trump earned his spurs in a letter from a doctor.” | image tagged in trump,general james mad dog mattis,overrated general,meryl streep,bone spurs | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

This human slug slaughtered civilians in Fallujah, where white phosphorus was illegally used. Yet when the Commander in Chief gives the order for leaving Syria, he resigns like a pussy.

So, if I understand you correctly, Donald Trump hired this "human slug" as one of his "best people."

Here's why...

Trump Has High Praise For Marine General James Mattis: Calls Him "A General's General"
https://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2019/10/president-trump-has-high-praise-for.html

Of course there's always the possibility that Trump hired Mattis precisely because of his reputed murderousness.

That would square neatly with SOBMF's own ruthlessness.

Notably, Obama fired Mattis, whereas Trump proudly re-hired him. (WTF was that all about?!?) https://www.aol.com/article/news/2018/12/23/trump-obama-ingloriously-fired-jim-mattis-i-gave-him-a-second-chance/23625835/

Finally, I see no persuasive evidence that Mattis was guilty of ordering war crimes although the crimes of his underlings render him guilty according to the principle of "command responsibility" which is to say if a crime occurs anywhere lower down in "the chain of command," "top dog" is responsible for not having exercised appropriate oversight. https://www.globalresearch.ca/did-defense-secretary-james-mattis-commit-war-crimes-in-iraq/5607347 (As an aside... Commander-in-Chief Donald Trump subscribes to the "principle" that "the buck stops anywhere but here.)

Do you guys ever read "outside the bubble."

I don't give a flying fig who hired or fired or rehired or refired this bloodthirsty psychopath. Seems you can't think outside of a Trump vs Liberals paradigm. He wasn't even occupying the same positions over three presidential administrations.

"Lt. Gen. James Mattis, who commanded Marine expeditions in Afghanistan and Iraq, made the comments Tuesday during a panel discussion in San Diego, California.

"Actually it's quite fun to fight them, you know. It's a hell of a hoot," Mattis said, prompting laughter from some military members in the audience. "It's fun to shoot some people. I'll be right up there with you. I like brawling.

"You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil," Mattis said. "You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them."

Just one of a few quotes typical of the "warrior monk" (sic) known affectionate by all in Fallujah as the Mad Dog.
