Most overrated? Mattis laughs off Trump barb at charity gala

[Dorn]

18. Quite a read and quite are load of

I love these bits:
* "The surest way to prevent war is to be prepared to win on" -- A great bit of deep deep thought
* "Professional Military Education (PME). PME has stagnated, focused more on the accomplishment of mandatory credit at the expense of lethality and ingenuity." -- How the holy hell can that happen? We spend trillions on 'defense' and we are just passing up soldiers!? This is an enormous issue and he passes it off as a minor item.
* "Each ally and partner is unique." -- Sounds like this paper was not long enough so he padded it.

He agreed to break a tradition of having a civilian military and just because he has now lightly dissed Trump does not undo this life long ass kisser who was clearly passed up on his own PMEs.
