that something about politics made me genuinely happy.
James "Mad Dog" Mattis, was nominated for Secretary of Defense.
I've served under him as a wet-behind the ears lance corporal in the mean streets of Fallujah, then as a pencil-neck civlian intelligence analyst at US Central Command.
In my not-so-humble opinion, he's perhaps the finest leader I've ever known. Us Marines fortunate enough to have served under him would gladly charge the gates of Hell armed with a water gun and no air support for that man.
Here's to the waiver from Congress to allow this great man to un#badword# our DoD.
