New CENTCOM Commander, LTG Mattis
The WAPO is not happy....
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/federal-eye/2010/07/james_mattis_its_fun_to_shoot.html "You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years, because they didn't wear a veil," Mattis said. "You know guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot 'em."" we need more leaders like him..... |

Look, another general officer who is about to decide that he "needs to spend more time with his family" and/or that it's time to "persue other interests.". How do these guys make it to this level without knowing how to keep stupid comments to themselves?

he made that one quite a while back. before he got promoted to CENTCOM commander. He is generally thought of as a great commander and is well loved by his troops.

To Whit: This speaks leagues of his character as a leader:
"A couple of months ago, when I told General Krulak, the former Commandant of the Marine Corps, now the chair of the Naval Academy Board of Visitors, that we were having General Mattis speak this evening, he said, “Let me tell you a Jim Mattis story.” General Krulak said, when he was Commandant of the Marine Corps, every year, starting about a week before Christmas, he and his wife would bake hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of Christmas cookies. They would package them in small bundles. Then on Christmas day, he would load his vehicle. At about 4 a.m., General Krulak would drive himself to every Marine guard post in the Washington-Annapolis-Baltimore area and deliver a small package of Christmas cookies to whatever Marines were pulling guard duty that day. He said that one year, he had gone down to Quantico as one of his stops to deliver Christmas cookies to the Marines on guard duty. He went to the command center and gave a package to the lance corporal who was on duty. He asked, “Who’s the officer of the day?” The lance corporal said, “Sir, it’s Brigadier General Mattis.” And General Krulak said, “No, no, no. I know who General Mattis is. I mean, who’s the officer of the day today, Christmas day?” The lance corporal, feeling a little anxious, said, “Sir, it is Brigadier General Mattis.” General Krulak said that, about that time, he spotted in the back room a cot, or a daybed. He said, “No, Lance Corporal. Who slept in that bed last night?” The lance corporal said, “Sir, it was Brigadier General Mattis.” About that time, General Krulak said that General Mattis came in, in a duty uniform with a sword, and General Krulak said, “Jim, what are you doing here on Christmas day? Why do you have duty?” General Mattis told him that the young officer who was scheduled to have duty on Christmas day had a family, and General Mattis decided it was better for the young officer to spend Christmas Day with his family, and so he chose to have duty on Christmas Day. General Krulak said, “That’s the kind of officer that Jim Mattis is.” 4 |

I have no opinion of his qualifications, I'm just saying that these guys can't get away with stuff like this and they should know better. It's unfortunate when the military loses qualified officers because they don't know when to shut up.

It depends if it turns into a "story" or not.

Sounds good to me. Why the women in that culture put up with that abuse is beyond my reasoning. Act like a vicious animal and you deserve to die like one.

oh have you ever heard some of the quotes fom the Generals of WWII? to whit: Admitral William "Bull" Halsey: “"Kill Japs, Kill Japs, Kill more Japs!'” General Curtis Lemay: "If you kill enough of them, they stop fighting" General George Patton: "Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood." Get the picture? |

If he's lucky it will die out quietly, if it's still in the news next week he will be gone.

Here is a good question. Would the Ex CENTCOM Cmdr tolerate someone doing to him what he did to that insignificant man Obama? I mean, he is only the Prez and his boss so what is so bad about insulting him? Isn't it acceptable behavior to piss on your boss in public?

Religion is ingrained into them. Is it any wonder that a lot of offspring here adopt the religion and even the denomination of their parents? Look at the suicide bomber. Why? He is told that he can suffer a bit here and have paradise forever. Kinda like going to college. Work hard for 4 years and have a better life later on. Women were told to mind their assigned place or they will suffer. Obedience will be rewarded. Why do Indians put up with the caste system? Religion.
