Absolute role model and American hero.

Who would a person rather be with in  a foxhole if the shit ever hit the fan; one of the liberals that are running our country into the ground a little at a time or with a person like General Mattis?

My answer is very simple and it is not the first of the choice.

People like Gen, Mattis how are far and few between have put their ass and lives on the line in the defense of the USA, are the people that made it possible for the entire country to live in freedom and enjoy the liberties we have.

The current leaders of our country that are constantly turning their cheek and are trying to buy other countries friendship. They have it all wrong. They are a big part of the reason the USA is in the deplorable it is in.

Enemies of our country fear people like Gen. Mattis and laugh at people in the Obama administration for literally “giving the store away”.

Remember two things; “fear and respect go hand in hand” and “charity begins at home”; two things it seems the leaders of the USA have forgotten.

It is only  human nature. When a country or person is bully and gets away with dictating and pushing around people; if no one puts a stop to it, they become completely out of control and continue their domination.  This is exactly what has happened to the USA.

Other countries know that some of our leaders are very weak people and take full advantage of us. They have figured out the weaknesses and generosity of the USA and use it to their advantage.

I salute General Mattis for standing his political and military ground and not caving into the establishment. People like the general are feared and shunned by their leaders for their overwhelming strong character and determination.

The following are a few of the rules and slogans General “Mad Dog” Mattis lives by. The nickname “Mad Dog” has been taken as a very big compliment to the general. We can put him in the same category as George Patton, Chesty Puller and General Schwarzkopf; the people that fought gallantly to protected the USA and made it a safe country to live in.

Gen. James Mattis, known to his troops as “Mad Dog Mattis,” is retiring after 41 years of military service.

The Marine Corps Times is calling Mattis the “most revered Marine in a generation.”

Mattis has been commander of the United States Central Command since 2010 and led the 1st Marine Division into Iraq in 2003.

According to reports, President Barack Obama decided to force the Marine Corps legend out early because he rubbed civilian officials the wrong way, and forced them to answer tough questions regarding Iran .

Mattis was an inspirational leader of men and his powerful words will go down in history.

Here are some of the best words that the “Mad Dog” has had to offer:

1. “I don’t lose any sleep at night over the potential for failure. I cannot even spell the word.”
