Gen. James Mattis served more than 40 years in the Marines, much of it commanding troops in battle. But he almost didn't make it to boot camp. In this extensive two-part interview, he talks with David Martin about his years in Afghanistan and Iraq, following orders from the Bush administration that he characterized as incoherent, and serving as Secretary of Defense under President Trump. He also talks about his distaste for his colorful nickname, "Mad Dog," and shows off his library of 7,000 books, to which he's added another - his own, titled "Call Sign Chaos: Learning to Lead."

He was too much for obama and trump was too much for him. So what do you think about trump. Mattis said and it was quoted "My views on treating allies with respect... are strongly held". That was part of his resignation with trump. Bottom line the problem with our country is not the people that serve us and our government. Its the people that vote them in. If you strongly believe your statement then you will know it was best for our country to vote trump out.

@reidparker1848 3 года назад

From O-4 upwards, officers are politicians. Responsible for nothing, given credit for everything. There is no such thing as "leading" a gigantic unit like a regiment or a division, it is more about giving actual leaders (from the Battalion or Company downwards) their objectives. I am sick and tired of people demanding that I conceptualize warfare in terms of divisions. To do so is impossible and wrong. A division is 26 companies that may or may not fight together. Squad, Platoon, and Company. Everything "higher" is more of a geographic/organizational concept.

@Programmer_Cookbook Год назад

@@reidparker1848 High command warfare isn't about strategy on a chessboard or leading the men in the battlefield like other commanders did in the past. Modern Generals and Admirals are nowadays a kind of project managers dealing with the sucess of a project like any company: costs, scope of the project, schedule, adcquisitions, resources, air support, logistic chain, risks, etc. That being said Mattis was a good general fighting an inferior enemy. I don't know if the best but good.
