karenhunter So which general is nuts enough for Trump but still able to get affirmed by the Senate?

He’s not retiring. He’s quitting. Bigly difference....

ICEBERG, DEAD AHEAD!

A millionaire real estate speculator knows far better than a career Marine General that the Kurds in Syria 'will be just fine' w/out US troop support.

Another one bites the dust!! Has any other presidential administration had this kind of turnover?

Even a General can only take so much of a circus......lasted longer than I would have.

Mattis is departing from the administration due to differences. Mattis is leaving the trump administration because he disagrees with the president.

Trump is 'pushing' him out

Retirement is waiting for you, Mad Dog.

Deputy Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan will take over as acting Pentagon chief starting Jan. 1. And that children is why you should hand in your letter of resignation as you are walking out the door. Don’t agree with the Jackass in Chief on much but he is right here. If Mattis so disagrees with the Jackass in Chief no sense in keeping him around. Aww, he’s insulted (if it was not so dangerous it really would be funny and a case study of the pathology of a narcissistic sociopath). Oh, the Private Sector Government Contractor with ZERO Military experience?
