I just finished reading the letter of resignation (minus the one paragraph that’s missing 30%) It leaves me very curious what the Dummycrats are reading, because this looked like a mature letter expressing a minor fundamental disagreement on vision and purpose. Not, I’m going to throw a temper tantrum because you disagreed with me over Syria, China and Russia.

I for one am glad to see this POTUS doesn’t believe in Permanent-War for the sake of involvement without end.

We should have left Afghanistan on December 31, 2001, and utilized our strengths as a world military force and law enforcement champion to defeat al Qaeda, UBL, and the Taliban. And, never strayed into Iraq without a clear plan to ‘not’ break everything and go home. Mattis, just a Brigadier General back then, followed the orders of Rumsfeld and later, Gates, Panetta, Hagen, and Carter after him. I didn’t hear him resign over allowing all the BS that happened under Bush and Obama’s systematic destruction of the military.

I think what he’s saying is it’s time for me to go to the old soldiers home and spend time with my family before it’s too late. I also think he’s playing the get out of Dodge card before the new Congress (House) takes over and runs the rest of this country into the ground before the 2020 elections.

I could be wrong and he’s really pissed because the president was acting presidential and ordered an end to US involvement in a country with little to no strategic or national importance to us after killing another towel head at a cost of $1,000,000,000 per head.
