I don't think anything will be gained by resisting Mattis. If Petraues was still a candidate for SecState, that would be one that should be opposed.

The NSA is not subject to confirmation, and I don't see anything short of an international disaster separating Flynn from Trump. That is the real problem.

Actually I trust Marines to do the right thing (biased I guess).
