General Mad Dog Mattis No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy!

JACKSONVILLE, N.C. - Feb. 10, 2016 - PRLog -- The United States Marine Corps has a reputation of forging some of the greatest warfighters on the face of the earth.  There has been exceptions to the rule, however.  Men who have stepped beyond greatness and in to legendary status.  These legends would come to shape the very foundation of our Corps.

The foundation, through General Mattis' leadership, would not be shaped, but meticulously molded.  Many would commonly refer to him as the "warrior monk", because of his devoted study to the art and of war.  He was one of the most outspoken military leaders of our time.  General Mattis by definition is an unconventional thinker.

General "Mad Dog" Mattis certainly held no verbal refrain when it came to his Marines.  Nor did he when it came to politicians or the press.  One quote that he gave to the press caused him to receive a reprimand from Commandant Michael Hagee saying "He should have chosen his words more carefully"  He said "You go to 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 at them..  Actually it's quite fun to fight them, you know.  It's a hell of a hoot.  It's fun to shoot some people.  I'll be right up there with you.  I like brawling."

Another controversial quote would strike fear into his enemies and stand as a reminder of our capabilities.  General Mattis sent back his tanks and artillery and tried reasoning with Iraqi tribal leaders, he would say "I come in peace.  I didn't bring artillery.  But I'm pleading with you, with tears in my eyes if you ***k me, I'll kill you all."

As outspoken as crude as Gen Mattis may have sounded, he made every Marine understand "the most important six inches on the battlefield are between your ears."    The Marine Corps was forever changed under his leadership.

Mad Dog's ability to personally connect with his Marines are evident with anyone that has served with him.  He once took Duty on Christmas, as a Brigadier General, for a Major that had a wife and children back home.  Stories like this exemplify his extraordinary leadership and serve a personal example for each Marine.
