Please, don't tell the truth

Marine Lieutenant General James Mattis is in trouble for telling the truth. Thursday in San Diego Mattis said, "You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil…You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them."

Oh the humanity! How could he say such a thing? I could care less. I wish there were more straight shooters like Mattis in politics and in high places in our military. Mattis has been reigned in by the Marine Commandant and has said he should have chosen his words more carefully. Why - because clueless talkers are upset with Mattis. They don’t want the reality of war or any reality for that matter to intrude into their uptown politically correct party worlds.

They of course would all be in gulags somewhere were it not for men like Mattis who make it safe for the talker class who, between sips of expensive bottled water, turn up their high class noses and trash men like, drum roll please, Mattis. Killing terrorists for fun? Keeping prisoners awake and standing or kneeling naked for several hours? Oh my! How barbaric! I guess the truth is that the talker class needs and wants men like Mattis to do the dirty work they have no stomach for, but please don’t ever let them out in public. Do what we want and need you to do but please don’t come into our party world.

When the subject comes up on some Sunday talk show and the whining guest or network pretty boy starts to trash Mattis, just ask yourself, “Who do I trust with my son’s life, Gen. Mattis or (fill in the blank) Chris Matthews, Sen. Dope, Congressman Clueless etc.?
