"a few violent protestors? we have dead cops on the street. Regarding criticizing Presidents he told us he was not one of those Generals that do what he just did."
In May 2004 Mattis ordered the 3 a.m. bombing of what he alleged was a suspected enemy safe house near the Syrian border, but was in fact a wedding party 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 (130 km) from the nearest civilization? These were more than two dozen military-age males. Let's not be naive."
When asked by the press about footage on Arabic television of a child's body being lowered into a grave, he replied: "I have not seen the pictures but bad things happen in wars. I don't have to apologise for the conduct of my men."
Holier than thou blood on his hands Mattis can fuck off.
This is another time where I've lost all respect for a General Officer once they took off the uniform. It started with Powell in the 90's and has pretty much continued almost non-stop since then.
Go Bill Bennett! Well said.

Mattis is right. There were only a few violent protestors.
Now there were a lot of peaceful protestors like this one:

lol Mattis has been in Washington way too long.
Obviously the Deep State got to him. Skeletons in his closet just like the rest of them.
Mattis has gone full retard. And he knows it.
