So you support Obama's way. You want a DoD who leaves warriors to die on the battle field. But I should have know that about you.

Actually Jake, my CO called friendly fire in on our position at Dak To when the 24th NVA overrun our position and were wiping us out. That's what a real CO does.

The point was you didn't complain when the left allowed it. Whether that is a bigger point than your head, we really are not sure.

FFS Fakey, stop with all the whining. It was cute at first but now it's getting tedious.

Dunno about him leaving men on the battlefield to die, but I DO know that confirming Mattis is gonna be hard, because he has to have at least 60 votes to get confirmed due to his needing a waiver.

Why does he need a waiver? Military personnel are prohibited from leading Defense posts until after 7 years of retirement or discharge. Mattis has only 4, meaning he's going to need a waiver, and because of the waiver, he also has to get confirmed by 60 votes or more.

'...when left allowed it...'

Thank you for finally admitting Hillary and Barry ALLOWED Ambassador Stephens & 3 Americans to die.

They were murdeted by the terrorists Hillsry and Barry armed. They died NEEDLESSLY.

And while it was going on Hillary disappeared, hiding and plotting how they were going to save their asses by blaming a video.

Maybe the least problematic appointment Trump has made in spite of him needing a waiver to hold federal office.

Then would you not assume that if he fails to secure the necessary votes, he will simply appoint someone else?

Wrong.................this is the ONLY appointment that the Dems could block if they wanted to. And, given his past, they are going to have a long hearing on his confirmation.

Didn't say anything other than he needs a waiver due to only being 4 years out of the service, and because of that, he needs to get 60 votes instead of the normal 50.

This is the only appointment so far that Dems could block if they wanted.

If Fakey is spooked, we already know it's a good pick.

Seriously though, seems like most people I work with are happy about the pick.
