#2 NBC News reported that Pentagon leadership had directed military leaders to do "damage control" just hours after Trump left Brussels, which Mattis immediately dismissed as "fiction."

"We just gave them a 'Bad Cop (Trump), and worst cop (me)'."

#6 I bet Mattis is happy as hell to have a leader that not only doesn't take shit from people, but is willing to back up his threats.

"I didn't come with artillery, but I'm pleading with you with tears in my eyes. If you mess with me we'll kill you all."

#8 If Mattis were to announce the sun will explode in three days, I'd be frantically searching for my parka, balaclava, and snowshoes.
