Not just Mattis. He tried to order the active duty military to go after protestors in D.C. They reminded him of their oath and the Posse Comitatus Act. At volume. In the Oval Office. Then they released a force wide memo reminding everyone their oath was to the Constitution, not the President.
Yeah, cause our fucking military is too woke. Stfu.
That’s a line they actually use. They usually pair it with pictures of combat soldiers partying in My Little Pony costumes.
They forget that those same guys would annihilate their backwoods militia before lunch if it came down to a fight.

Honestly I have never been so accepting of the armed forces as when Mattis openly shunned Trump.

He’s never forgiven the military for that.
