'He's the greatest Marine in the entire division': Lovestruck Marine tried to impress his service member crush by hacking Jim Mattis' computer and sending a praising message from his email
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The Tri-City Herald reports that Maj. Gen. Jim Mattis was the guest at the Tri-City Regional Chamber of Commerce's monthly membership luncheon and shared the story in front of nearly 1,000 attendees.

Mattis, a famed Marine who once led the 1st Division, spent the event speaking about leadership and his time in the military.

While Mattis was surprised by the email, he admitted that it exemplified traits, like initiative and aggressiveness, that the organization wanted to foster within its ranks.

'Great initiative, not the best judgment. A private first class does not want to see a two-star general,' he said.

Mattis said such a move would have serious consequences at a higher rank, but it's important to recognize the difference between a mistake and a lack of discipline.

'He was young enough to make a mistake like that, which would have been an ethical mistake up above... he got punished by being assigned to my personal staff,' the 69-year-old joked.
