My views on treating allies with respect and also being clear eyed about both malign actors and strategic competitors are strongly held and informed by over four decades of immersion in these issues...

...you have the right to a Secretary of Defense whose views are better aligned with yours on these issues.

Trump calls it a retirement when it is quite clearly a resignation letter. Mattis states openly that his views are at odds with Trump's and he deserves a SoD who shares those views. This, just after Trump casually announced the withdrawal from Syria. Coincidence?

Who are we kidding? He quit.

Not to this degree. Something big is brewing, especially if it spooked someone like Mattis.

yeah Mattis was like one of the only reasonable people in Trump's entire cabinet. and now he's gone.

so Trump withdraws from Syria against the advice of every. single. one of his military advisors and against the will of the Senate.

the only entity who seems remotely happy with the decision is Putin.

really makes you wonder, doesn't it?
