Showing Original Post only (View all)I nominate General James Mattis for Secretary of Defense in the Biden administration. [View all]
If you have read Bob Woodwards book, Rage, you will fully understand. Mattis is a true patriot, the epitome of what it means to be a GOOD public servant and a tireless steward of Americas military might who is committed to civilian control of the military.
I dont know whether or not this is what the author intended, but Mattis is the STAR of the first half of Woodwards latest book.

Mattis has a wealth of knowledge and should be used in an advisory capacity for that reason
