    If even 1/ 1,000,000,000 of this was true Mathis would have been drummed out of the Corpes.

    Unbelievable how enemies of America will make up stories to trash good men like Mathis just for partisan reasons.

    What Fecal Schiest nonsense you have written. None of these three are " draft dodgers".

    A draft dodger is a turd who got DRAFTED and then ILEGALLY refused to serve and / or avoided service after being DRAFTED by running off to Canada or another foreign country.


    Mathis joined the Marine Corps in 1969, he was in ROTC while in college and was commissioned a 2nd Lt. in 1971. THAT IS NOT A DRAFT DODGER. This is an American hero who Trump schjested on.

    Monika's Boyfriend was a draft AVOIDER he was never drafted but he legally ( but very likely immorally) got deferments under questionable conditions.

    Trump never got DRAFTED but since his DaDa had money and influence he got that doctor's Lying letter to the selective service board and preemptively got excused from the DRAFT.

    There was only one like Chesty Fuller and of course only one like Gen. George Patton my Dad's favorite general who I learned about from Dad even before I knew exactly what a general was.

    The gas.org is another forum of opinionists like us not a information depository. Using fas.org as a source is like quoting a KKK website about inter racial marriage.

    He quoted a 2001 military decision by Mattis to keep nearby air support grounded despite calls for reinforcement.

    How can anyone second guess a commander on the ground is thatbsomeone was not rightbthere standing right next to Mattis with 100% the same visual and audio information?

    Talk about Monday morning quarterbacking.

    It reads to me of a desperate attempt to find a reason to criticize Mattis simply because Mattis criticized Trump - even if that means ignoring all the more recent times that Trump praised Mattis.

    And also ignoring facts or twisting facts or manufacturing "facts".
    That is sadly the mode of operating with Trump and Trump sychophants.

    Trump has served the country as President for 3 years now and Mattis was never under the kind of fire Trump deals with daily.

    You really are going to play the snowflake card here? Poor little Trump. His life is such a hell.
    Dude - EVERY President since Nixon has had to deal with investigations. Iran-Contra. Whitewater. WMDs. Benghazi.

    Never thought I'd see the day Republicans started denigrating military service - but damn, you just claimed that Mattis' Bronze Star and Distinguished Service Medal, serving in 3 wars (including commanding an assault battalion in the Gulf War) was the basic equivalent of scrapping your knee at a skate board park.
    Republicans really have abandoned their morals in search of kissing Trump's pucker,

    And you still haven't seen that day but let's not make more of it than it is. Even as a General Mattis did what he was told, Trump is at the level that does the telling.

    Yeah, pretty much. Mattis claimed to get his bone spurs on the battlefield yet the butt hurt bastard didn't even see a battle until he was almost 50 years and the Gulf War was not the Iraq War by any stretch. The Gulf War lasted 2 days. I'm quite certain Mr Mattis didn't see any battle what-so-ever.....since I know people who were there.

    Mattis is making out like he's Norman Schwarzkopf. Mattis isn't a pimple on Norman's ass. Norman actually fought in Vietnam too.

    They are two different types of jobs. Mattis loves the fire fight. Mad Dog loves to kill. Sometimes war can be avoided. That's where they butted heads.
