Re: "Actually it's quite fun to fight 'em, you know. It's a hell of a hoot. It's fun to shoot some people. I'll be right up front with you, I like brawling," Mattis said.

Well, what else should we expect from a Marine brass? Classic, ballsy, trigger-happy mindset of the military... I suspect, however, that Mattis was deliberately provocative in his "glib comments". Perhaps even more dubious, though, was his boastful hint that he --a three-star general-- personally gunned down people on the battlefield. I guess general Mattis doesn't want to be called an armchair fighter....
