I'm seeing he was appointed in 2015. Who was POTUS then? We all know Gen Mattis didn't make CJCoS but is now Secretary of Defense. Gee, I wonder why that happened.

Remember when Bush 41 watched the Kuwait invasion and said on camera "this will not stand"?

Gen. Powell knew right then that he was going to war. He didn't say "hold on sir". He got his shit together and made it happen.

Really dude? You spent how many years telling folks to follow your orders and then you make this statement? I'd say Mattis received that shit loud and clear. Further, start brainstorming with your inner circle on the how. You know the military teaches you to have solutions ready with questions you have for your boss.

Fukk, even Privates have used more brains than this.

Trump to Dunford: do you understand English? You have 5 min to carry out my order or I'll find someone else to replace you. Time started 4 min ago.

All the fake news comments on Canada by you all is a perfect example of the one sided flow of current events in your country. We get your news from your networks and ours, while all you get is snippets of crap that your networks deem will rile folks up or make good bias news about our country. When was the last time you watched a Canadian news program on a Canadian network?
Open your eyes and realize the brain washing that's going on in your country.

Ummm, I don't watch network news. I like to get unbiased news.

Obama, Hillary and Trump are standing at the throne of heaven.
God looks at them and says, "Before granting you a place at my side, I must ask you what you have learned, what you believe in."
God asks Obama first: “What do you believe?"
He thinks long and hard, looks God in the eye, and says, "I believe in hard work, and in staying true to family and friends. I believe in giving. I was lucky, but I always tried to do right by my countrymen".
God can’t help but see the essential goodness of Obama, and offers him a seat to his left.
Then God turns to Hillary and says, "What do you believe?"
Hillary says, "I believe passion, discipline, courage and honor are the fundamentals of life. Like Obama I believe in hard work. I, too, have been lucky, but win or lose, I've always tried to be a true patriot and a loyal American."
God is greatly moved by Hillary's high-pitched eloquence, and he offers her a seat to his right.
Finally, God turns to Trump and says, "And you, Donald, what do you believe?"
Trump replies, "I believe you're in my seat."

Approving the Keystone XL pipeline after years of Obama literally rubbing Canada's nose in it for many years should be the start of healing our relationship.

Robbie, I'm sure Douglas is aware of the brainwashing going on. Most of the major US network "news" shows don't report the news. Instead, they report their "opinions" of the news. Last I checked, the Canada news outlets still report the news.

most news these days is just disguised opinion.


they choose who to interview, who to report about, what to report about, and in so doing, create a narrative that either all is great, or all is lost. depends on what they want you to think.

so i largely turn it off and do something else.

the latest about the foul mouthed communication guy for Trump. does his potty mouth affect me? nope. but it creates the idea that Trump has a bunch of careless frat boys around him, and therefore, Trump can't be trusted and all is a mess in the WH. as for Sessions, are you going to tell me you've never seen a boss try to motivate an employee to get off his ass and do his job with vigor?

I was OK with Canada until they rewarded the American killer and A bunch of Canadians were ok with it.

Your PM is a sick individual and if you aren't trying to change your laws or justices, you are a sick individual as well.
