Woodward's book includes an anecdote where an aide to Mattis heard Trump say in a meeting, "my generals are a bunch of pussies" because they cared more about alliances than trade deals

Trump was right. Mattis is just riding the gravy train. If that means helping China conquer America, so be it.



He's a typical Pentagon shill. You go with the flow, then when you retire they have the cushy board seats ready for you. He promoted the Theranos scam.


After retiring from the military, Mattis worked for FWA Consultants and served as a member of the General Dynamics Board of Directors. Between 2013 and 2017, while on the board of General Dynamics, Mattis made more than $900,000 in compensation, including company stock.

In August 2013, he was appointed an Annenberg Distinguished Visiting Fellow at the Hoover Institution and in 2016 he was named the Davies Family Distinguished Visiting Fellow.

In December 2015, Mattis joined the advisory board of Spirit of America, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides assistance to support the safety and success of American service personnel and the local people they seek to help.

He is co-editor of the book Warriors & Citizens: American Views of Our Military, published in August 2016.

From 2013 to January 2017, Mattis was a board member of Theranos
