Brain -> Killing enthusiast to replace Petraeus (7/10/2010 8:51:22 PM)
I would give the guy a chance if Gates thinks he’s ok. ’Killing enthusiast’ to replace Petraeus US Defense Secretary Robert Gates has named James Mattis, a four-star Marine general known for his blunt speech, as the new head of US Central Command. Mattis is an erudite combat veteran known for quoting poetry and openly expressing his enthusiasm for "killing the enemy," Los Angeles Times reported on Thursday. The nomination that was announced on Thursday brought Secretary Gates under fire for choosing a general who was officially rebuked over his remarks in 2005 regarding the killing of Afghans. "Actually, it's a lot of fun to fight," the Los Angeles Times quoted Mattis as saying. "You know, it's a hell of a hoot... It's fun to shoot some people. I'll be right upfront with you. I like brawling." http://redicecreations.com/article.php?id=11705 [image]local://upfiles/392475/0AE6FDE26BC3456CA9DA5D3B31B3B154.jpg[/image]

Another great General who wants to perpetuate the myth that counter-insurgency strategies will work in Afghanistan.

Brain, that's exactly what we expect of the people in our military. They're not "peace keepers" are they?
