Mattis tells soldiers that being ready for war helps prevent it

It's good to see the military allowed to actually rack up a victory or two. The decimation of ISIS is one for sure. Don't know how much we can attribute to a "hands-off" POTUS, but definitely having a military man as SecDef vice a scientist, PhD in physics, or businessman has to be a large part of it. I think those in uniform are in for the long haul, considering current events in the World. We need to support them and keep them in our thoughts and prayers. A united front at home is a good start. We can disagree but outright hatred of each other only weakens us as a Nation.

General Mattis is correct and the right man for the job. Hope that war does not come, but be fully prepared in case it does come.
