    'He earned his spurs from a doctor': Gen James Mattis mocks Trump

    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...y_to_clipboard

    “I earned my spurs on the battlefield; Donald Trump earned his spurs in a letter from a doctor,” Mattis said.

    In another zap he said: “A year according to White House time is about 9,000 hours of executive time, or 1,800 holes of golf.”

    There is no question that when the folks get fired they are really unhappy about it.

    Hey Guys, The remarks were at a ROAST. It was supposed to be a dig in the spurs speech.

    That's good to know. I have never thought of Mattis being that callous.

    Thanks for the welcome.

    Have you not noticed how coordinated the Democrats are with their talking points?

    Not talking about extremists. Talking about main steam elected politicians. It is like some group gets together every night and decides what tomorrow’s talking points are and sends out an email. Everybody is on the same page. You hear the same talking point from everybody and the MSM dutifully adopts it and faithfully reports it.

    Yeah they do. Those same talking points find there way here too.

    I realize the source of the info from Mattis may cause concern. So, the thread was moved here from politics

    I’ve never looked at Maddog as a partisan; just a damned good soldier. Saying that though, generals are for fighting wars, not getting out of them.
