Mattis for SECDEF

Trump has chosen retired Marine Gen. James Mattis for secretary of defense

President-elect Donald Trump has chosen retired Marine Gen. James N. Mattis to be secretary of defense, according to people familiar with the decision, nominating a former senior military officer who led operations across the Middle East to run the Pentagon less than four years after he hung up his uniform.

To take the job, Mattis will need Congress to pass new legislation to bypass a federal law stating that defense secretaries must not have been on active duty in the previous seven years. Congress has granted a similar exception just once, when Gen. George C. Marshall was appointed to the job in 1950.

An announcement is likely by early next week, according to the people familiar with the choice. Jason Miller, a spokesman with the Trump transition team, tweeted Thursday evening that no decision had been made. Trump’s son Donald Jr., meanwhile, retweeted a report saying that Mattis got the job.

Lets have him kill north korea. Can we please kill north korea? I find them unsightly.

Ok, now that my old school hell yeah has calmed down a bit.... It has given me the time fathom this may actually happen, and is in process of it. I do not politic a lot because I find it a waste of energy, but this will either be a combo that follows that horrible slogan and surpasses it, or we will be walking into WWIII with a big stick. I am good either way, I do well financially when a R is in office and always like a good fight lol.

I don't know about North Korea but Kim wouldn't be bad.

This is FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC! He will commence with the slaying of bodies, and dispense with the business of social engineering. He'll get the DoD back to where it should be: Ready for tasking with an "Aye-aye, Sir!"

It is really cute how you guys still think this is going to be a change to anything but the status quo. The Washington elites will continue their reign of power, Trump amd his people will join the club and play the same games, and nothing to very little will actually change. All the same cans will be kicked down the same roads as they have been for years, and they will continue to get rich while setting up the economy for a massive collapse one day. This is going to be more of the same, just like the last time, and the time before that, and the time before that, and the time before tht, and so on.

If I was 70yr old Trump, towards the end of my life, I could give a shit about money(esp because he already has "enough"), I would want to leave a legacy as a badass president that turned a dying country around. That legacy could/would last an eternity.
