Dr. Eowyn did a blog post on Gen. Mattis back in March 2013, as Obama was purging our military. Read the post “Obama regime purges 5th senior military officer: Cmdr of CENTCOM James Mattis.” Now Trump is bringing him back!
James Mattis is a retired United States Marine Corps general who last served as the 11th commander of United States Central Command. Mattis retired from the military in 2013 so his nomination will require a waiver of the National Security Act of 1947, which requires a seven-year wait period before retired military personnel can assume the role of Secretary of Defense.
