Secretary of Defense James "Mad Dog" Mattis will retire at the end of February of next year.
His decision comes on the heels of his displeasure with The President's recent decision to pull out of
Syria and his recent comments regarding pulling Our Troops out of Afghanistan --
both very unpopular decisions at The Pentagon level.
Trump boxing out some of General Mattis' own choices for key Military appointments resulting in a broadening divisiveness between the two,
The President has stated that Gen. Mattis has done a great job & they part on good terms.
Another Democrat leaving The Trump Administration is no surprise.
Not the first time, won't be the last.
We commend Gen. Mattis for his 40 years of Service in The United States Marine Corps.
He'll be sorely missed.
