Got another tell all book coming out from Mattis' speech writer supposedly with the "inside story".
Mattis is neither confirming or denying the accuracy.
Reading through it though Trump asks some pointed questions that our non strategic leaders can not find answers to.....
"The book says that Mattis was 'blindsided' when Trump announced his controversial ban on travelers from Muslim countries during the first few weeks of his presidency in the Pentagon's Hall of Heroes."
Did Mattis not watch any of the 2016 debates?
Mattis says about Trump....
'He likes to build things, he likes power, he likes to be seen as bullying the bullies and he likes to be the best or have the best.'
My God put Trump in jail!
"Trump abruptly blurted: 'The USS Ford (the Navy's newest aircraft carrier) is completely out of control with cost overruns!'"
So Trump wants to keep costs under control - hang him.
"Mattis tried to steer the conversation back to America's international partners and when Iran came up Trump said that a US warship in the region should open fire.
'If surrounded by Iran again, the captain ought to blow them out of the water!' Trump said, according to the book."
No more pictures of Squids on their knees in humiliation sounds good to me. Mattis would prefer otherwise?
Regards Afghanistan, ie the ME......
"Trump reportedly scowled and responded: 'Seriously, who gives a s*** about Afghanistan? So far we're in for $7trillion fellas. $7trillion including Iraq. Worst decision ever and we're stuck with it. We could get 90 per cent of our commitments and countries and just bring it all home.'"
Jimmy that is what he was elected to do. Sorry you will have to pay for your own lunch not bill Raytheon.
"Trump wanted to know specifically what America gained for each US soldier who died. "
and if that question can not be answered than every parent, spouse, child of a dead soldier should be apologized to. I dont think there is a clear answer.
"In South Korea, Trump said it was a 'losing deal' and suggested it pay the $60billion-a-year cost of the American base there."
Last I heard South Korea has some money to spend.
The only thing that piqued Trump's interest was nuclear submarines. He said: 'Why aren't we building more?'
I would say that is a pretty astute observation by Trump if you want "Bang" for the buck. @308pirate life expectancy of a carrier in peer to peer war please?
Trump suggested Amazon should be excluded from the Pentagon's $10billion cloud computing contract for a new military computing system, even though the tech company specializes in that area.
Mattis responded saying, 'we're not going to do that', and slow-rolled the contract to avoid bringing it to a head.
So Mattis is a treasonous bitch. Does our military really need Alexa reading all its traffic?
Mattis also objected to Trump sending letters to NATO allies demanding that they pay more to remain part of the organization and said they had done 'real damage.'
How do you damage an already destroyed program?
In March he told his close aides: 'The White House is not to be trusted right now. It's too undisciplined at the moment.'
Asked in a private meeting in June last year whether he thought Trump was making the country stronger, Mattis said: 'No, I don't. I do not think Trump's policies will make America stronger.'
No General, seems like you lost your discipline and you want a weaker America.......
If this is supposed to be a hit piece it fails.
