Gen. Mattis retires/resigns after differences over stay in Syria to fight Russia Iran

[Yongpeng Sun-Tastaufen]

All news accounts that I currently watching are saying General Mattis decided to retire when Trump made the the change to Middle East policy.

But here's the difference.. I'm not claiming that as a fact. That's just what they're saying that they've heard from sources.

He was politely fired. No one wants to retire. No salary!

Might be good to change the title of your thread because nowhere have I seen it be confirmed that General Mattis was fired.

That is your assumption Superboy

Unless there was a quote by either Donald Trump or General Mattis confirming of the firing? If so please post it

Mattis resigned to be accurate

He was politely fired. No one wants to retire. No salary!

Gen Mattis has a pension for decades of military service. He could earn a lot by sitting on board of directors of a defense company

 

[Hakikat ve Hikmet]

Forced to quit = fired.

You're fired + expletives (generously add) = Trump's punch line.....

Forced to resign.

I'm sure the general has a decent pension.

You just beat me to it. I was about to reply that General Mattis I'm willing to wager has a pretty nice pension. Not to mention the fact that he might end up employed by some Think Tank.

And yes, he resigned. I posted that later in the thread. Or rather what General Mattis his own words were.

trump is busy with his wall on mexico
it is just Mattis submitting his resignation and moving on

I'm sure the general has a decent pension.

if the general was fired expect him to say so in a public press conference

He's forced to quit because of differing views with Trump and Bolton. Just admit it dude.

Admit what? What you said very well could be true.

Doesn't mean he was forced out. Unless you want to split hairs and say he forced himself out.

Apparently Trump made some decisions on Middle Eastern policy, and Mattis disagreed with them and left on his own accord.

 

[KhalaiMakhlooq]

Mattis severed from US.

Whats next? All US components breaking down

he resigned wasn't fired, but everything else is correct

If he didn't resign, he would have been fired. So preemptive resign caused by threat of firing.

 

[YeBeWarned]

he wasn't fired, he quits .. his resignation letter is on CNN ..

would have could have does not count
I am surprised he lasted 2 years with Trump

He was politely fired. No one wants to retire. No salary!

mattis does not have a family. he is not married
what does he want the dough for ?
he is a monk-philosopher as much as he is a warrior

They sure are good at sugarcoating words.

Anyway, he wont be jobless for long, soon he will just end up as a lobbyist
