You misinterpreted the letter. Mattis is part and parcel of the neocon wing of the Republican Party. The desire for war and destruction is insatiable for those people. They declare a mission for our troops and once the mission is accomplished and the troops can come home they move the goalposts and insist that now there’s a new mission. Their foreign policy recommendations are draining this country dry. Two decades of trying Westernize the Middle East is two decades, a trillion dollars, thousands of lives of young American men and women, tens of thousands of young American men and women being permanently injured both physically and mentally too much! We have become a permanent militaristic republic. It needs to stop before those neocon fools kill us all. It really surprises me to see you of all people, Been, fall for this. You are allowing your hatred for Trump to blind you to what is in America’s best interest.
