They're pretty camera-ready. But that's a subset of the military tradition: Some vets know how to parlay their experience for the media -- look at Ollie North. Bonus: you can't criticize a disabled vet. (Time was you could if he was a Democrat, like Max Cleland, but no more -- if you could they'd have ragged Tammy Duckworth up and down. Wonder how that came to be.)

"When you're a Fed you're a Fed all the way

from your first fingerprint to your last IRA"

'Cause when you're a Fed, they tell you about the Federal Acquisition Regulations as the only way we can *legally* buy things.

“American Thinker readers were warned about General Mattis over a year ago in this article. Briefly, Mattis was and remains a supporter of global warming.

The issue of global warming continues to be a reliable and simple litmus test. If someone believes in global warming, then you can be sure he is a globalist who loathes Western civilization.“
