Mattis "won't speak ill" of Trump

Mattis sitting with CBS, saying he "won't speak ill of a sitting President" and Trump is "unusual" - Yeah, right. Does it dawn on him that the American people need those that actually worked with Trump to tell the truth? If Trump is on top of it as commander in chief, fine, tell us that. If he's a moron, who should not be anywhere near nuclear weapons, we need to know that too. Amazing that some voters are still backing Trump to the degree that he could win again. We need those that can to come out, tell the truth about Trump and not hide behind the nonsense of the old decorum. All bets are off, and Trump proves that every day. Mattis and his inside view won't mean much when Trump pushes the nuclear button because he's an idiot.

If your comaaander is insane and a traitor, is it not a soldier's duty to report it?

and saying nothing while he dismantled the federal government, abused and insulted our allies around the world and made googly eyes at tyrants and dictators.

He had a duty to speak truth to power. Does it really matter that he STILL chooses silence over integrity?
