The "Rock" LOL. In 1975 I had just gotten out of Naval training school in San Diego and was reporting to my ship stationed in Long Beach Ca which was in dry dock. I thought something was odd when the bus pulled into the Long Beach Naval Station and the sign said San Francisco Naval Station.. When I got off the bus I went to report in and I saw this Admiral coming at me all decked out in gold so I gave him my best salute and he just scowled back at me. When I went around the corner I saw all the cameras and they were filming an episode of McMillan and Wife and the admiral I saluted was Rock Hudson. This was back when nobody had heard of AIDS or that Hudson was gay.

So Trump is making him leave January 1 instead, really stupid.
Breaking News: Defense Secretary James Mattis will be leaving his post on January 1, weeks ahead of his initially announced exit of February. President Donald J. Trump announced in a tweet Sunday morning that "Deputy Secretary of Defense, Patrick Shanahan, will assume the title of Acting Secretary of Defense starting January 1, 2019."

Also keep in mind, Boeing does some pretty hush hush (Boeing Phantom Works) type of work for the DoD.
As for Mattis leaving early, that is interesting . . . General Kelly is also supposed to be out by year end.
Accelerated timeline ?
Keep in mind, these are not going to be long term positions if you haven't figured that out yet.
Is the amount of turnover in this Administration like any other you've seen ?
Good or bad, these folks are here to do a job then they're out and someone else is in to do a different job.
New game.

So now advanced degrees are in eh? And not a lick of military exp on that resume or am i not seeing it? A boeing enginerr for sec of defense? I mean, is this for real? Did we critisize the tillerson pick for this very reason and, well, we know what happened there......
I mean trump is lost, utterly.
DH, all bullshit aside....are u ok with a def sec that never even went through boot camp?

The dems and the MSM would all be cheering if under Obama our military had taken back all the territory that ISIS held and then pulled our troops out.

This new guy has advanced degrees...and no military experience. This is all really dumb.

CJ was of course too much of a coward to tell Mattis that his being replaced early. He had his Secretary of State do it. To have president that is not only a moron, but a scared little bitch too.

Whether or not you agree with the general and believe that we should keep troops in the Middle East indefinitely for what reason would you keep somebody for two more months who is in complete opposition of the policies you've set?

Soldiers follow orders, it's kind of a requirement of the job. Here hoping the GOP grows some balls and only confirm a qualify person as the new SOD.

Apparently not all soldiers follow orders. And neither Bill Clinton nor Barack Obama spent any time in anything close to the military. And W, just barely.
If a soldier finds it impossible to do what the commander-in-chief has asked it's time for him to go.

OBAMA and BILL!!, well then that makes it OK? If a soldier finds it impossible to continue to do stupid things they resign and give the moron in chief time to get a new SOD confirmed. Because having a coward/moron, then a nerd as the two heads of the military is fucking stupid.

SECDEF's take their advice from the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the intelligence agencies. Who in turn take their advice from the Fleet commanders and Generals. Ultimate responsiblity always is the President's. And quite frankly, I no longer trust Trump. If Mattis doesn't, I don't.
