Mattis is a democrat. So no dems are far from we the conservatives.

True. We didn’t elect Mattis or his agenda.

Typical photo of Trump with closed arms shows how closed he is to advice from anyone other than himself. Shows how closed minded he is and unwilling to work with anyone on any terms expept his own.

Bye bye neocons

NHendersonWSJ Men like him is a true example

Well At least he IS and honest and loyal American who has served the Administration well, unlike those conniving in the WH attempting to derail the President’s agenda!!

SecretaryMattis, understands that PresidentTrump, at difference of other politicians, honour the promises, made to hisFOLLOWERS during elections, in regards to finish, with regime change military interventions, with an outcome=DESTRUCTION of thousands of lives lost&trillionsSPEND

Hey Washington post, please explain lol

I think mattis did it right. He served his country, and decided to move on. Classy until the very end.

InTrumpWeTrust

Others should follow his lead! We need smart, honest, truthful, non corrupt people to stand up against this administration!!

jamesmattis You can't change what you don't like from the outside looking in. But hope everthing goes well for you.

A lifetime military strategist and servant can’t even work for trump. That says a lot!

i need a temporary job badly😥i think WhiteHouse is my best option😎😎😁

Not even his appointed leaders support him. GOP, it’s up to you to remove him from the White House.

Stop the expensive wars

الوزير المستقيل لم يكن الرجل الصحيح في المكان الصحيح منذ البدايه ، لذلك يستقيل الان.

Mattis, you are right , sir, and don't let the door smack you in the butt on the way out.

Yeah....to a POTUS of chaos! Of turning it's back on it's allies!! POTUS does NOT LISTEN to his military experts! He does NOT understand foreign policy! He is a FOOL!

The wsj is full of the same bs as the Senate. Here's just one example: Deficit bad for Dems, good for GOP.

False

As a committed AmericaFirst supporter, I subscribe also to AmericaNotAlone. Therefore, can’t support abandoning Kurds to ISIS promoter and supporter Erdogan. This is a grave mistake!

So far Mattis has been aligned to: A russian asset running the county Nazis called very fine people Calling black NFL players SOBs Nepotism Babies in cages Using American troops as props at the border serial adulterer pussy grabbing & OVER 6000 LIES By Mattis & GoFuckYourself

And so he searches.

In a letter to Trump, James Mattis said the president had the right to a secretary 'whose views are better aligned with yours'. Regrettably, General Ripper, passed away a number of years ago.

He would leave his position at the end of February.

Defense Chief Mattis resigns over Trump's order to withdraw troops from Syria : Officials.

Yes he does, Mad Dog. A shame you weren't the guy that fit that bill. But, thank you for your wonderful service to this country, sir.

His resignation letter is absolute 'Ass Kissing' FREE, thats what i call a F OFF registration letter.

McConnell 'distressed' over Mattis' resignationSenate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who often avoids publicly criticizing President Donald Trump, issued a pointed statement Thursday night in response to the resignation of Defense Secretary James Mattis, calling on the US to promote a worldview more in line with the departing defense secretary's than the President's. This administration has been in distress since day 1! Considering he was the last adult in the room. I think it’s time senatemajld, and SpeakerRyan have a real discussion with the commander and chief. This isn’t a dem issue, this issue can only be fixed by the party who created it.
