    Lt. Gen. Boykin: Mattis Cuts Through Political Correctness, Understands What Motivates America’s Enemies


    “I would say that from the time Mattis came into the Marine Corps, he had a single focus, and that was the single focus of winning wars,” said Boykin. “Everything that he did, I believe, was in preparation for that mission. He cut through political correctness. He motivated soldiers. He spent enormous amounts of time. You know, he was not married, he didn’t have a family that he had to get home to at night. He worked long hours. Mattis, I think, has been in many ways a consummate soldier, and people recognize that. People see him as a warrior first.”

    “I think the message his appointment sends to our military is probably the most important message that it could possibly be, and that is that we’re going to get back to the mission of the military. It’s not social experiments. It’s not fighting Ebola. It is fighting and winning the nation’s wars against real enemies,” Boykin said.



    Boykin said Mattis “sees the world the way it really is, not the way people would like for it to be.”

    Looks like the GOP is finally growing some antlers. They've tied the waiver of the 7 year rule on military officers serving in the cabinet (needed to confirm Mattis) to a continuing resolution to fund the federal government through April. In other words, they are tying a potential government shut down to the approval of the waiver provision in a gambit to expedite Mattis' confirmation.

    Their history is to back down on potential government shutdowns. Obama has called their bluffs for 8 years and they have backed down every time.

    Dang it! I was feeling pretty good about this, then you had to remind me of the facts. Still, I'm going to be cautiously optimistic.

    The battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual wickedness in high places.

    Is the general "born again?"

    Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
