"Mad Dog" - Perfect.

Leaving the politics out of it, Trump is a business man and stated early on, "Hire the best and let them do their job".

The history of James Mattis reminds me of General Patton and should be a taken seriously by those who seek to harm us.

If not, he will deal with it swiftly/effectively and come home because his men/women come first as opposed to some political agenda.

We cannot lie to ourselves as there are some bad people out there that mean us (and everyone) harm.

The radicals may be currently brainwashed to fear nothing now but when they show up with a knife and he brings a cannon, the conversation will be short.

Don't get me wrong, I do not condone war but if we are threatened, our country/families protection comes first.

With that said, when there is only one option left send a warrior, not a politician.

This in itself is the biggest deterrent to conflict.

Thanks CaptainBVI. I was wondering if the nick-name Mad Dog was good or a bad thing.

But to be in the same sentence with General Patton he is a no nonsense type speaks

volumes.

Good news. Thanks.

7 Memorable Quotes From Gen. James 'Mad Dog' Mattis

Retired Marine Corps Gen. James “Mad Dog” Mattis is a top contender for secretary of defense in President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet. The two met Saturday for an hour, after which Trump called Mattis the “real deal.”

Mattis most recently served as the head of U.S. Central Command. A lifelong bachelor, he is known as the “warrior monk” for his knowledge of ancient and military history.

The four-star general is revered by many for his leadership and also known for his blunt words.

Here are seven quotes -- or “Mattisisms” -- from the retired general on war, leadership and the U.S. Marines:

“Bloom where you are planted.”

A fellow Marine Corps officer says this was Mattis’ simple philosophy. If he didn’t like an assignment he was given, his attitude was to always do the best that he could.

"Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet."

 

Mattis shared this quote with his Marines as a rule to live by in Iraq, Thomas E. Ricks writes in “Fiasco: The American Military Adventure in Iraq.”

“Marines don’t know how to spell the word defeat.”

Mattis joined the Marine Corps when he was just 19. He's considered one of the more intense military intellectuals and owned a huge personal library, according to Ricks' book.

“You are part of the world’s most feared and trusted force. Engage your brain before you engage your weapon.”

This quote is from a letter Mattis wrote to his Marines the night before the March 2003 Iraq invasion.

"It’s all the more important today that we hold to our precious legacy of ferocious, ethical combat performance."

Mattis delivered these remarks during his speech at the Marine Corps University Foundation’s 2014 Semper Fidelis Award Dinner on Feb. 22, 2014.

“Marines who can do the necessary ‘rough work,’ but without becoming evil by doing so, despite an enemy who has opened apocalyptically the aperture for who they target, to include even women and children," Mattis said. "It’s all the more important today that we hold to our precious legacy of ferocious, ethical combat performance. For in a world awash in change, Americans need to have confidence in the everlasting character of our Marines.”

 

"Actually it's quite fun to fight them, you know. It's a hell of a hoot. It's fun to shoot some people.”

According to CNN, Mattis said he “should have chosen his words more carefully” after receiving counsel from the Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. Michael Hagee, for comments he made during a 2005 panel discussion about fighting the Taliban.

"Actually it's quite fun to fight them, you know. It's a hell of a hoot. It's fun to shoot some people,” Mattis said at the time to the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association. “I'll be right up there with you. I like brawling.”

Mattis continued, “You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them."

Gen. Hagee defended Mattis’ comments in a statement provided to CNN: "While I understand that some people may take issue with the comments made by him, I also know he intended to reflect the unfortunate and harsh realities of war. Lt. Gen. Mattis often speaks with a great deal of candor."

“But there was another word that I learned to prioritize as I evaluated units, and that word was affection." 

In a Marines video posted on Oct. 13, 2016, Mattis revealed his “leadership lessons” from his 41-year long career in the corps.

"It’s not popularity -- with all the favoritism that comes with trying to be a popular person as a leader. That’s a road to failure," Mattis said. "But affection that you create in a unit, an affection so strong that the troops will stick by one another and carry out the mission even in peril."

Paradigm Shifts in National Security Apparatus…

Posted on November 24, 2016 by sundance

Far away from the chaotic banter of political discourse, a small network of patriots have come together – yet few, if any, will ever elevate their mindset to notice the significance of their assembly.

Specifically, this Thanksgiving, we stand thankful for, and raise our glass toward, General James Mattis and General John Kelly.  Both have joined ranks with Admiral Mike Rogers (NSA), General Michael Flynn (Nat Sec) and Representative Mike Pompeo (CIA) to unite behind President-Elect Donald Trump and stand the gap after a long 65 year void.

The last retired General to run the Department of Defense was George C Marshall in 1950-1951, and he was only brought in for one very specific year. Thereafter the DoD has been headed by various business and political officials, with a smattering of institutionally academic military leaders.

We have previously presented the outline of black hats and white hats within the various domestic law enforcement and national security discussions. However, seemingly invisible to all but those who are paying very close attention, is the dawning of a new security era focused on civic defense and national restoration.

 

The larger dose of joy comes not from waiting for the historic writing of this time; but rather to notice these exact moments when we are within them.

With General Mattis as most likely Secretary of Defense, Michael Flynn as National Security Advisor, General John Kelly interviewed – potentially as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, a top-of-class West Point graduate in Mike Pompeo brought in to take over and undoubtedly purge the CIA, and a lame duck struggle breaking out over NSA with Admiral Mike Rogers, the implications are pretty obvious.

[L-R Mike Pompeo, Gen. Michael Flynn, Admiral Mike Rogers]

The white hats we have needed within the national security and intelligence departments are responding from a select group within the Defense Department.

Mounting evidence supports the ongoing thesis that DoD has actually seceded from the political elites; and with the election of President Donald Trump, they are poised on the horizon to reconstruct a nationalist-minded defense and security apparatus. This is the fundamental paradigm shift many have discussed, yet few imagined possible.

While it is prudent to avoid direct discussion of what footprints signal the evidence toward this seismic shift, we would be remiss if we did not say it’s worthwhile to pay close attention to the behavior of the congressional oversight apparatus, the “intelligence Gang-of-Eight”.

1. Speaker of House. 2. House Minority Leader. 3. Senate Majority Leader (McConnell). 4. Senate Minority Leader (Schumer). 5. Chair of House Intelligence Committee, and the 6. senior minority party committee member. 7. Chair of Senate Intelligence Committee, and the 8. senior minority party committee member.

It will be interesting to see how the oversight members respond to a new direction.

As this security evolution unfolds, we can also anticipate the diminishing ‘black hats’ (those elites with a more globalist-minded/interventionist/ideological world view) will use media signaling to undermine the new assembly; as evidenced within a story from today, that does not come as a surprise.

Once you teach yourself to stay elevated and notice how the system is being constructed, the black-hat-friendly media responses become entirely obvious.

We are living in the moments when history is made.

Long-Presse / Baghdad

US president-elect chose Donald Trump, retired Gen. James Mattis, known as the "mad dog" and the defense minister in the next administration.

The Web site (BBC), a news report, I followed (range Press), "The US president-elect Donald Trump chose retired Gen. James Mattis, known as the (mad dog) and defense minister in the next administration," noting that "the US president had called Gen. retired James Mattis, aged 66, as a general sense of the word. "

And it took Matisse (known as mad dog) explicit positions strongly critical of the policy of the current US President Barack Obama's administration towards the Middle East, especially Iran, which is claimed by it's "the greatest imminent threat to stability and peace in the Middle East."

Donald Trump told a crowd of his supporters, that he "will appoint (mad dog) and Mathis minister of defense, it is the best we have and closer to Gen. George Patton commander of the Second World War."

And Gen. James Mattis, a former officer in the US Marine Corps (Marines) and has field experience, and led the assault battalion during the first Gulf War in 1991, as was the commander of a special force worked in southern Afghanistan in 2001, also participated in Iraq in 2003, and played a major role A year later, in the battle of Fallujah.

The General Mattis had retired in 2013 after leaving his post commander of the US Central Command.

Marines returning strongly to Iraq to face many dangers, including Iran

US experts: James Mattis, the defense minister during the reign of Trump will focus more on the military situation of his country in the Middle East.

Middle East Online

Gen 'aware of what decided' Baghdad officials and experts, US likely to focus, "retired Gen. James Mattis, chosen by President-elect Donald Trump to be the new secretary of defense, more on the American military position in the Middle East", so as to face the repercussions of eliminating the organization of the Islamic state and its defeat in Iraq, Syria, and most importantly to face Iran's massive expansion in the region with a strong prominence sacred alliance with a number of strong influence in a number of Arab states Shiite militias. They await the "baptizing Matisse to send more troops and fighter planes to Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as more naval patrols in the Persian Gulf to intercept any Iranian potential threat." Well-informed US sources that the "General Mattis prefers to work more closely with allies to strengthen their aspirations more on the ground." The sources quoted officers and analysts as saying that the "very likely that calls for General Mattis to increase the number of US troops currently stationed in Iraq, which amounts to up to six thousand soldiers." They added that Matisse would justify this increase is the need to move his country's military strategy in Iraq after the expected victory of the Iraqi forces will achieve the organization Daesh in Mosul, due to the likelihood of the emergence of new security risks in Iraq, the threats that by organizing the Islamic state itself or by a subsidiary organizations it might arise after the defeat of the parent organization, or even of the same Shiite terrorist groups, and Iran. According to the same sources, the General Mattis to take a tough stance on Iran and the dangers from the region after its alliance with the Holy declared its proxy militias in a number of countries in the region. Mathis said in April, speaking about Iran, he said that "the Iranian regime poses the most danger to the stability and peace in the Middle East threat." He said Derek Juliet former assistant secretary of defense in the outgoing President Barack Obama's administration, said that "General Mattis will seek to strengthen the US presence in the Arabian Gulf with the increase in the intelligence effort in the region to stop Iran from attempts to use mines to block the flow of oil and through international navigation." He will find US Secretary of Defense's planned support in Iraq from the current minister, Ashton Carter's military strategy, even before they assume office at the beginning of 2017. Carter, in turn, stressed the need for the survival of units of the US military and its allies in Iraq, even after the defeat of the organization of the Islamic state. Carter said that US forces will not withdraw from Iraq until after the final elimination of the organization of the Islamic state. The channel quoted Russia Sunday for Carter that "the task of the international coalition should not be limited to the military operation against terrorists finishes in the city of Mosul, and that there is a need for the continuation of the fight against foreign terrorists and counter attempts Daesh change its activity areas and re-rallies." He added that he "should provide aid to the Iraqi authorities concerning the training of local police forces and border guards, and other units of the Iraqi armed forces, in order to hold the land that was liberated from the grip of terrorists." Said analyst Michael O'Hanlon of the Brookings Institution foreign policy for "New York Times" that "General Mattis is different from the rest of the other members of the national security team, who hand-picked by President-elect Donald Trump, in his administration being aware of what decide." "The mats will be full of confidence when Trump tells the boss when a military solution is appropriate or inappropriate." Trump announced Thursday his intention to appoint retired Gen. James Mattis, and the defense minister, becoming the second general to the post since 66 years. He praised Trump often he announces appointment Matisse capabilities as a military leader. He said, "We will appoint (Mad Dog) Matisse and defense minister," referring to the title of a retired general in the Marine Corps (Marines), who headed the US Central Command, who led the US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. He said that "the best. They (the generals others) say it is the closest to Gen. George Patton," in reference to the military leader who emerged during World War II. Mats and has previous experience during his service in Iraq and Afghanistan as commander of the US Central Forces for the period from 2010 to 2013, the last two. Mathis will need to be approved by the Senate and a special exception to the law that prohibits the retired generals assume the post of the Defense Ministry for a period of seven years after their retirement.

official: US troops will remain in Iraq after Daesh led by"Mad Dog"

 

 

 

 

2016/12/4 12:04:20 PM 

With the approach of the expected end to regulate Daesh and control of the remaining areas of the city of Mosul, it appears to the forefront as usual, political and social problems, as well as the security that will come a new phase arrive Iraq for the first time in its history, after losing a historic enemy threatened entity of the region, and perhaps the world.

In substance, the political and security side is linked to a degree not difficult to distinguish between them, the Iraqi political parties to enter the alert because of disputes over the future of the city of Mosul, the level of security is threatened, including after Daesh phase, which may include the re-emergence of patterns of al Qaeda, the former advances to Daesh, ignition or a civil war between ethnic Kurds and Arabs, or sectarian between Sunnis and Shiites, especially with the expansion of the armed factions, which owns the base ideologies contrary to afford the government of optimism in this aspect.

The political dispute over the future of the city, it seems that he is no longer confined to the local level representatives Baltsara between politicians like Nujaifi with the Northern Territory and Barzani then Baghdad destinations Unified Color divergent views, no longer is also a regional regard to the Iranian conflict in Iraq, the Turkish Saudi triangle, but has reached the stage global, with the announcement of the US defense secretary current "Ashton Carter," for the alliance another word in this regard.

Carter and through foreign media asserted, that the projected end of the organization has become too close, he said. "As soon as we defeat the organization, you must keep it a defeated, we need to continue to confront foreign fighters fleeing, and to prevent any further attempts by the organization to rebuild itself anywhere , this means that the United States, but its allies too, must take to stay involved in the military conflict in the region, particularly in Iraq, where it will be necessary to continue to provide support and training are also arming of the police forces and border guards, and the rest of the forces that will be responsible for stop re-growth of the organization Daesh. "

The minister, however the approach of his term, which ends with the next year, did not specify how long they will remain the US forces and their allies in Iraq, or Aadidhm, as well as the nature of their stay, at a time which is likely in it, that these plans fall once received Trump, president-elect, with its mandate in Oval Office, which said repeatedly that he has other plans for Iraq, which is that the United States deal with him.

This comes at a time in which he declared the president-elect Donald Jay Trump, he plans to choose a retired general, "James Mathis" and nicknamed "Mad Dog", to be secretary of defense, pointing out that the orientations fit those that Trump wants to achieve them during his tenure, which reiterated during the election period, it includes re-occupation of Iraq again.

Also referred, that Matisse mad dog, you will not be able to take over his post unless it gets an exemption from the US Senate, being retired, where the law prohibits retired leaders who have served the maximum age in the military, take over as defense minister, but Trump stuck by means he will take office at the end probably.

In the end, the United States' policy may be placed in advance, a Democratic president withdrew the troops when what used to their presence in Iraq warranted, and now after the administration's sense that it involved withdrawal and should be returned, the head of a Republican would be the logical choice to lead the country into war again, as he did his predecessor, George W. Bush.
