I thought this was an excellent interview:

After obtaining his contact information through its accidental exposure by the Washington Post, The MIHS Islander contacted Secretary of Defense James Mattis for an interview. Two companion pieces to this article, a description and reflection on the experience of getting and conducting the interview as well as a feature on the connection between education and radicalization according to Mattis, have been published online.



A good read, I thought you all might enjoy it.

It's really too bad that the finest journalistic questions I have heard this year came from a high school student.

Here's hoping that kid stays out of journalism school, gets a real degree and goes into journalism with real knowledge- he already has great instincts. Hats off to Mattis for sitting down with him and being so generous with his time.

Dang, the more I read things like this, the more impressed I am by Secretary-of-Defense/General Mattis.

He has a keen intellect and is so danged insightful that I can't help but dream that he would serve us as President.

What you did there, I see it.

I have read the interview a couple of times now. I can't think of anyone else in the upper levels of government who would have given that kid the time of day, let alone an interview. SecDef Mattis truly is one of a kind and this country is blessed to have a man like him leading from the top.
