And that’s why they call him “Mad Dog”.

Mattis has only been out of the military for four years, not the seven years required by law, so Congress would have to design a workaround—and a senator and a senior congressional staffer both tell The Daily Beast that they’re working on it. They spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the still-evolving matter.

Retired four-star Gen. David Petraeus is also in the running for the top defense post—and he also hasn’t been out of uniform long enough to legally serve as defense secretary—but the sources say Mattis has been the main focus of the discussions in Congress…

Military historian Max Boot said Mattis has a Patton-like reputation for outspokenness, citing comments at a 2005 conference: “You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap around women 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.”

    I thought rump would have a hard time finding people who were willing to be associated with his term in office. It seems like he has brought the roaches out of the corners and they are clamoring for a piece of the pie. They can’t wait to ruin the democracy we have worked on for over 200 years.

      The Outhouses of America are being emptied to fill T Rump’s Cabinet.

        And that stench has apparently fermented, and not in a good intoxicating way.
