This is why people should always hire Marines.
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis talked to reporters at the Pentagon this afternoon. Asked his biggest military concern in 2018, he responded: “I don’t have concerns. I create them”

It’s just not about the ooh-rah factor. It’s a confident and fearless face forward for the rest of the world to look at and think twice about.
Like Nikki Haley at the U.N., Sec. Mattis is a reminder that the United States is no longer afraid to act, or apologetic for doing what is in our interests and what we believe is right. Like any other nation in the world, we are entitled to pursue our own policy goals and work in our national interest at home and abroad. And by the way, we’re better at it and have a bigger … stick.
Love it.
