General Mattis: Great Man, Great Marine

Mackubin Thomas Owens provides some much-needed context to the Mattis Affair.

I for one want the Marines to have as many generals who love to kill the enemy as possible. Perhaps the sister services, plagued during the 90s by Bill Clinton's manipulation of the promotions process, will wake up and elevate more men like Mattis to the top ranks.

Nah, it'd never happen.
