"Because you have the right to have a Secretary of Defense whose views are better aligned with yours on these and other subjects, I believe it is right for me to step down from my position."
Awhile back, the question was posed about whether it was more honorable to serve under a leader you didn't agree with, or whether it was better to stick it out. It appears that General Mattis has made his decision.
What do you think was the final straw? Who would be a good replacement for General Mattis?

I think it is a loss for the country but Mattis did it correctly. He felt the gap on some policy decisions was too great and rather than disagree or work against the president, he resigned. That was the correct and professional move. What do I think the major issue was? I think it had more to do with NATO and other alliances. Mattis addressed that at length in his letter.

His letter's a very powerful statement, very well thought out and a strong argument for a more traditional view of foreign policy. I have a feeling that this has been sitting in his desk (in some form) for a while.
