A Man to Love and Follow into Combat

[Phil1]

There is something about this statement that is just so eloquent.

“You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap around women for five years because they didn’t wear a veil,” General Mattis said during a forum in San Diego in 2005. “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.”

Nice NYT hit piece. The problems with the NYT's methodology is that many americans see it the same way General Mattis does.

I like brass that say what they think, because you know they got to where they are by being the best, not by sucking cock.
