"Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet"
"You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn’t wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain’t got no manhood left anyway. So it’s a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them. Actually it’s quite fun to fight them, you know. It’s a hell of a hoot. It’s fun to shoot some people. I’ll be right up there with you. I like brawling.”
“Demonstrate to the world there is ‘No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy’ than a U.S. Marine.”
“I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I’ll kill you all.”
“The first time you blow someone away is not an insignificant event. That said, there are some assholes in the world that just need to be shot.”

I love the pick - he's a badass who has dedicated his life pretty much to the USMC. Obviously the left is crying about it because of the quotes above.
-
Apart from the 'fun' killing people part I don't disagree with any of them.
I don't think the head of the military needs a soft touch in charge necessarily, that's what an even tempered president is for...

Among people who know him, they say he is outstanding in character, wisdom, well-balanced, extremely intelligent,
can fix a lot of the terrible mistakes obaMao has made in our foriegn policy... just an oustanding guy.
Oh, hell yeah, nice nominee, TRUMP and PENCE !

Too bad he's not eligible to be SoD...
You think a waiver from the Congress would be hard to get?
Do you have any reason to oppose him? Or just GP?

I was going to mention the waiver. I don't think he will get much resistance from Congress.

Well since only one has ever been granted and when it was Congress stated that none should ever be granted again... yes, I hope it's hard to get.
Nice assumption on my opposition BTW...

Hoping the waiver is hard to get sounds like opposition to me.

Then get your hearing checked... it was a statement of general principle based upon precedent... and the law. Are you in favor of making it easy to break laws?
Now... what I have heard so far concerning "Maddog" sounds promising. Particularly reports of his discussion with Trump concerning the use of torture. So at least in one instance there's evidence that there's a rational mind in line for an important position.
Seems about time to resurrect my "Cabinet Watch" thread...
-
Easy to break the law, Tour? That's a little harsh, if you consider granting the waiver breaking the law. So if you think the general is a well-qualified individual who would be a fine secretary of Defense why wouldn't you think the waiver is a good and proper thing?
Unless of course obstructionism for spite is going to be the game plan for the next two or four years.
