    MadDog is having fun!

    Newly minted Secretary of Defense James Mattis celebrated his first full day at the Pentagon by presiding over 31 strikes against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.

    Newly minted Secretary of Defense James Mattis celebrated his first full day at the Pentagon by presiding over 31 strikes against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.

    Mattis entered the Pentagon Saturday with a smile for his first full day of work, and for good reason, considering the significant bombardment ISIS forces received.

    A variety of fighters, bombers and remotely piloted aircraft engaged in the bombing run, which saw 25 strikes in Syria and six in Iraq. In Syria, two strikes destroyed ISIS units and artillery near the town of Bab. ISIS forces in Raqqa, the terrorist group’s de facto capital, took a heavy beating, as 22 strikes destroyed 12 tactical units, nine fighting positions, two underground improvised explosive bomb factories and an ISIS headquarters. The final strike targeted two ISIS oil wells in Deir ez Zour.

    The best thing Trump can do is allow Mattis to take the leash off the biggest, meanest dog on the block, and just annihilate our enemies. No more using our military as an armed Peace Corps. If the world gets pissed because we're not killing our enemies with kisses and flowers, **** 'em. They can't do jack shit about it anyway. Go Mad Dog!

    Mattis: "Mornin', Joe! Ready to kill a few dozen bad guys on behalf of the American people?"

    If he doesn't outright roll back the women-in-infantry/SOF thing (of course Trump will have to okay it), I'd like to see him call the heads of all four services in and tell them he will court-martial anyone he finds out fudges, pads, or otherwise alters standards. No, you won't be allowed to retire, you will be freaking COURT-MARTIALED.

    This is why I don't care about the Spicer, media crying, size of the actual crowd nonsense they want me to care about.

    I understand why this is important to anyone who serves, and I completely agree on the equal standards stuff. But I'm not sure fudging numbers is a court martial offense, I would think a less than honorable discharge should suffice. I also don't think this is the most important issue for the military right now.

    Right now we are killing bad guys, I think that should be our main focus.

    If he makes it clear that no standard will be altered in any way, shape, or form, then that is a direct order. A violation thereof is a court-martial offense (if he wanted to push it). Women in those positions isn't the biggest fish to fry right now for the DoD, but it does need fried because at some point in the future it WILL be an even bigger issue. He needs to deal with ALL the issues as SecDef, and that is indeed one of them. It is also one of the things Obama shoved down our collective throats so add it to the list of things needing "undone".
