      He's been rightly called the man who could work for anyone as-so-long as they would never betray our country.

      >The kill/casualty radius of MY knifehand is as far as YOU can throw it."
      You've unmasked why I'm so useless in Ukraine, you're way the fuck over in America while I'm over here next to the war!
      Can you get your ass to Ukraine Sir so I can start stealing credit for your knife throws!
      I will never ever share any credit with you or anyone else, it's all just my work. When have you ever heard me praise anyone else?
      But your comment has made me realize that the real problem is that you are too far from the action.
      Under my leadership, we will solve this by getting YOU to Ukraine and ME to the States (with no travel for me ever) so that finally I can start stealing credit for your work the way I deserve.
      For too long I have not been able to steal credit for your victories but that ends today. As for your nut reference, permission to teabag me granted as you request, but only if you are a good boy and do all my work for me while I bask in the limelight and don't have to stay up reading 12,000 comments about how to lead 30,000 men and women, because if I did that then it would almost be like I had something to do with their effective results, which goes against your core thesis that I am a fraud who does nothing. And I'm never one to ruin a good thesis. carry on my wayward son.

      Sir Mattiss my friend who finished his military functions in O13
      after having given 4O years of his life to rule the USA Military Army
      the one year and few month in Trump Government
      were for him the occasion to show how to assume
      the Military Functions
      Having lelft the USA Military Army well prepared on a perfect raidiness
      best miitary equipped
      Gl Mattis is my Hero
      My Super Star
      feel goose pumps
      skin pumps
      shade a tear
      We are undebted to His person for
      the good job he accomplished diring his military functions
      Respect
      Blessing
      xx
      Trump called Mattis to show him how to deal with the harsh work of
      the USA big Firm
      being the most well politically
      awaire aknowledged
      on international conflict the Middle-East problem
      the North Korean problem
      big mistake to use the name Isreal
      Sidna Israel quoted in the Coran is God sender like the prophete Mohammed
      God is not a State Agent
      knowing that originally God forbade the Bani Israel to return to
      occupy Palestine
      sacrified his private life
      He lain in front of me on a diamond carpet
      to hold him take care of Him
      the duty I hold on my shoulder with responsibility
      care i'll fulfill at fulness
      In fact it's Almighty God who guides His path on mines

He was such a good leader, I literally felt like I could follow him into the depths of hell and have no qualms about it. He was so proficient in literally everything, his mind was sharp, his body was strong, but his spirit was intoxicating. Genuinely miss him as both a fellow Marine, and as a subordinate who felt like he learned so much from this singular man. Wish he was still around.

    Thank you for doing this wonderful interview. I was the wife of a Green Beret, and was approached by the men to present our colors at a Command Performance Banquet who were anxious to tell me how proud they were to serve under my husband. They were animated and happy to relate some of the training they had to go through and how my husband led them out on every maneuver. They followed him across the hanging ropes, the barricades, the mud trenches and the live fire under the barbed wire. He never asked them to go through any part of their training where he didn't lead out even with full packs on a march. He had a Disney call he made when he was ready to motivate them into action. I drove to the D Z one day to watch them jump and almost wrecked the car not watching the road. I saw the wind take a chute back up after coming down and drag my husband across a rain soaked field. And then one day, the inevitable tragedy happened. He insisted to take one of his groups to drop in Vietnam and blessed each one as they jumped from the plane as they hooked up to the jump line. Enemy fire was horrific and every man that jumped did so to his death. The plane, pilot, co=pilot and navigator made it back to base. My husband took if very hard and it wasn't long before he retired. I truly believe he died wanting to see his troops that he left back in the skies of Vietnam. His last words after the doctor's diagnosis was to his children: "I've got my ticket home." God Bless all those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our homeland. God keep all our service men and women in our daily prayers. SOBEIT, AMEN!

    He and I got into a small debate about my M-16 rifle.
    I used electrician's tape to keep sand out of it. He said the electrician's tape would keep my weapon from operating effectively. I disagreed with him, saying that the electrician's tape would would keep the sand from getting into my rifle. In my view, sand would stop my M-16 from operating.
    We agreed to disagree. But damn! His leadership in the battlefield led our battalion to crush the Iraqi Army forces like they were paper mache!!
