The Depth and Command of knowledge and commitment to excellence is self evident. The General has a deep understanding of complexity, we are lucky to have this strength of knowledge and clarity of focus in place. in a complex world we need deep understanding AND clarity to core values. If you listen closely you will hear his contextual understanding of the productive value of the UN and the key importance of NATO and much more.... including his deep ability to understand and place in context what seems to be an infinitely complex area of continual global challenges.

I wish he was President

[@MarkMcAllister-ni9sf]

You mean the nuclear cloud that some Islamic nation launched at you? Fucking moron...both the US and Russia have been mostly respectful and responsible with nuclear weapons...things I wish did not exist. And you obviously have no understanding of Mattis and his philosophy on war if you consider him a war-monger...and further you have no clear concept of human nature if you think that all war is unavoidable...you sir, are talking from your ass.

[@MarkMcAllister-ni9sf]

You are the hateful one sir...not who you are accusing.

[@KatiesArabVision]

Ya ya spelling errors, it happens. -they "threw them off buildings" and President Trump "knows how to delegate"

[@huntersdealer]

So in other words Mad Dog, we need to get the fuck out of the Middle East. Long winded pogue
