General ‘Mad Dog’ Mattis’ first act as Secretary of Defense: THIS message to the troops!

by SooperMexican

One of the best things to come out of Trump becoming president is his nomination of General James Mattis as the Secretary of Defense. He’s widely known as a “scholar-warrior” because he’s incredibly well-read, but also a bad-ass soldier.

So of course his first act as Trump’s Secretary of Defense is to give a message to the troops:

It’s good to be back and I’m grateful to serve alongside you as Secretary of Defense.

Together with the Intelligence Community we are the sentinels and guardians of our nation. We need only look to you, the uniformed and civilian members of the department and your families, to see the fundamental unity of our country. You represent an America committed to the common good; an America that is never complacent about defending its freedoms; and an America that remains a steady beacon of hope for all mankind.

Every action we take will be designed to ensure our military is ready to fight today and in the future. Recognizing that no nation is secure without friends, we will work with the State Department to strengthen our alliances. Further, we are devoted to gaining full value from every taxpayer dollar spent on defense, thereby earning the trust of Congress and the American people.

I am confident you will do your part. I pledge to you I’ll do my best as your secretary.

Pretty cool of him to do. I hope to see him kick ISIS’ ass very soon.

Don’t miss this video of him discussing the “Warrior Ethos” either, it’s bad-ass.
