GEN Mattis is not simply resigning, he is quitting and running away from his troops. If he honestly believed in what he was saying he would stay and continue to help the force as much as he can until he was actually fired. Resigning is a Chicken’s way out.

stop the bullying try negotiating and be open to other options

So speaks the potus who has no freakin clue what is actually happening in the world

Putin’s puppet and his treacherous supporters. Traitors all

Make Russia, China, Syria, No.Korea Great Again. Individual-1 / Pence 2020
