Breaking News: General Mattis Retiring

Mattis is one I really hate to see go. No link yet. Post it up if you find it..

He definitely always seemed like the grown up in the room.

That's the second General to leave this month and with both it seems that they weren't a fan of Trump's management style (like the surprise policy tweets). Yeah in his letter it's quite apparent that he disagreed about the Syria decision.

I know they'd never do it because they're disciplined guys but I'd love to listen to candid interviews with Mattis and Kelly on what it was like working in the Trump administration. I wonder if they share Tillerson's opinion.

Will be interesting to see who takes the job next and whether Trump nominates another military man for the job.
