It’s good to be back and I’m grateful to serve alongside you as Secretary of Defense.

Together with the Intelligence Community we are the sentinels and guardians of our nation. We need only look to you, the uniformed and civilian members of the Department and your families, to see the fundamental unity of our country. You represent an America committed to the common good; an America that is never complacent about defending its freedoms; and an America that remains a steady beacon of hope for all mankind.

Every action we take will be designed to ensure our military is ready to fight today and in the future. Recognizing that no nation is secure without friends, we will work with the State Department to strengthen our alliances. Further, we are devoted to gaining full value from every taxpayer dollar spent on defense, thereby earning the trust of Congress and the American people.

I am confident you will do your part. I pledge to you I’ll do my best as your Secretary.

MATTIS SENDS

Hmm, nothing there about wearing high heels or understanding the difficulties faced by trannies. This sounds good.

Oh, what a genius Mattis is. This is exactly what Churchill did when he assumed First Sea Lord in September of 1939 when World War Two broke out. The commication's office sent out a flash message when Churchill was appointed on September 3, 1939: WINSTON IS BACK!

This is the Mattis version of that message. BUCK UP: THE ADULTS ARE NOW BACK IN CHARGE OF BOTH THE MILITARY AND THE INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES!

This is why Trump picked Mattis!

I hope he kicks the crap out of all this PC crap and puts the true warrior creed back into the military.

 

[Be Well]

Short, to the point, well stated. GOOD!
