Trump Fires Mattis...SHOCK AND DEPRESSION..Obama Fired Him'He Rubbed Civilian Officials Wrong Way'

[mudwhistle]

This is just another clear example of the corrupt media spinning everything Trump does in a negative manner.

Obama fired James Mattis and didn't even take the time to tell him in advance. Obama fired him because he had a habit of rubbing people the wrong way and not following orders. Trump fires him and all of the sudden the world is coming to an end. The Pentagon is now in a deep depression.

Well here's the real James Mattis:

"In December 2001, an airstrike carried out by a B-52 bomber inadvertently targeted a position held by U.S. special operations troops and Afghan militiamen in Urozgan Province. Numerous men were wounded in the incident, but Mattis repeatedly refused to dispatch helicopters from the nearby Camp Rhino to recover them, citing operational safety concerns. This prompted an Air Force helicopter to fly from Uzbekistan to ferry the men to the Marine Corps base where helicopters sat readily available but unauthorized to fly. Then-Captain Jason Amerine cited the delay caused by Mattis's refusal to order a rescue operation as having resulted in the deaths of several men. Amerine wrote, "Every element in Afghanistan tried to help us except the closest friendly unit, commanded by Mattis," though he admitted that “none of that was assessed properly because the [5th Special Forces Group] chose not to call for a formal investigation”. [41][42] This episode was used against Mattis after he was nominated for Defense Secretary in 2016.[43]"

In May 2004, Mattis ordered the 3:00 a.m. bombing of a suspected enemy safe house near the Syrian border, which later came to be known as the Mukaradeeb wedding party massacre and resulted in the deaths of 42 civilians, including 11 women and 14 children. Mattis said it had taken him 30 seconds to decide whether to bomb the location. Describing the wedding as implausible, he said, "How many people go to the middle of the desert to hold a wedding 80 miles (130km) from the nearest civilization? These were more than two dozen military-age males. Let's not be naive."[47] The Associated Press obtained video footage appearing to show a wedding party, but the occurrence of a wedding was disputed by military officials.

After being promoted to lieutenant general, Mattis took command of Marine Corps Combat Development Command. On February 1, 2005, speaking at a forum in San Diego, he said "You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them. Actually, it's a lot of fun to fight. You know, it's a hell of a hoot. It's fun to shoot some people."

Pelosi ‘shaken’ by Mattis’ resignation



Why wasn’t she “shaken” when Obama fired him?


Doncha love the double standards of the Left? They were “for” Syria before the president announced the pull out.

I am told that General Mattis was traveling and in a meeting when an aide passed him a note telling him that the Pentagon had announced his replacement as head of Central Command. It was news to him — he hadn’t received a phone call or a heads-up from anyone at the Pentagon or the White House.

The reason for the firing, Ricks writes elsewhere, was his and the president’s differing views on Iran. The whole business sounds remarkably similar to the situation now.

So what was Pelosi’s reaction to back then? Remarkably, a search for the key terms Pelosi’s reaction to Obama’s firing of Mattis for the date range Jan. 4, 2013 to Feb. 20, 2013 turns up nothing.
