In Stern Rebuke To Trump, Gen. Mattis Sees "Storm Clouds Gathering" And America "Withering"

"General Jim Mattis Sharply Rebukes Trump's Leadership"
Under Trump, Mattis Says "Storm Clouds Are Gathering" And America Is "Withering"
Trump does not "know more than the generals."
And who but punitive "conservative" "Christians" -- their lives modeled after their vengeful, punitive God -- would support a man whose calculated cruelty (with malice aforethought) is his defining characteristic?
In the article (linked above) "the former secretary of defense criticizes unnecessarily forceful leadership, calling attention to an unnamed admiral he worked with many years ago who would tear people down and publicly mock critics, creating fear in a harsh and aggressive manner. "You're going the wrong way. You cannot allow your passion for excellence to destroy your compassion for them as human beings," Mattis told the admiral. "Change your leadership style. Coach and encourage; don't berate, least of all in public."
"Nations with allies thrive, and those without them wither," Mattis, a former Marine Corps general, wrote. "At this time, we can see storm clouds gathering."
He continued, "A leader must display strategic acumen that incorporates respect for those nations that have stood with us when trouble loomed. Returning to a strategic stance that includes the interests of as many nations as we can make common cause with, we can better deal with this imperfect world we occupy together. Absent this, we will occupy an increasingly lonely position, one that puts us at increasing risk in the world."

Alan: It is woefully inadequate for "Christian" "conservatives" to revel in their perceived "righteousness" because they damn all "The Bad Guys" as "baby killers."
