First of all, let me say that this nation is in debt to former Marine Generals Mattis and Kelly for their service to the United States. Kelly in particular deserves our respect and appreciation. His own son gave his life as a Marine in service to America.
But I have to disagree with their recent public comments in opposition to President Trump. Not that President Trump can’t be exasperating at times. He has a tendency to irritate his supporters as often as he infuriates his enemies. Not one of his most endearing qualities for sure, nor a wise political strategy.

Had it with both of these guys. Who cares what they have to say. At one time, they were true warriors. Now that they decided to swim in the swamp, I have no time or respect for either one of them. They lost me.

If I grant that they sincerely believe what they're spouting now, it calls their lifetime judgment into question.

Mattis, Kelly and others may simply be setting the stage for an independent moderate to run a 3rd major presidential campaign. I hear there’s this senator from a western state..,a businessman who can get things done...

Mattis is getting his ego stroked for being the new temporary shiny thing for the media to drool over. He will get a consultant gig on MSNBC any day now. Mission accomplished.

Political Generals. The bane of a commander-in-chief's existence. Just ask Abraham Lincoln. By the way Mattis reminds me of that evil little gnome Fauci wearing a Marine Uniform. Mattis is cashing in big time with his communist pals in the democrat communist party. Kelly has now tarnished his once glittering career. Too bad.

I really don't know what to say about these two men, people I formerly respected (and I probably will put John Bolton in the mix as well, as his book criticizing Trump will undoubtedly land just before the election.) Trump can be boorish and even childish with his punch backs, sketchy with the truth at times, but he also has tried to lift this country from its hard leftward spiral and really does have the country's well being at heart. Mattis and Kelly take personal resentment to a new level and appear to be trying to, rather, elect a man in steep decline, a man who has been dishonest for 40 years, a man who is obviously a placeholder for the Left to attain real power. What on earth is in their minds. THEY are doing what they criticize Trump for, but without positive motives for the country. Talk about throwing the baby out with the bathwater!!!!!!!!

These officers remind me of the exhortation from Ezekiel when he states, (and I'm paraphrasing) that the evil done by the evil man will not be remembered if he turns from his evil ways, he shall live. And the good that a good man did will not be remembered if he turns from his good and does evil. It's a truly frightening reality of life that it takes a lifetime to build a reputation, and a moment to destroy it. The left corrupt EVERYTHING they touch.

Their beef with the "reckless" Donald Trump was in using the military to defend Americans because people would likely die. Well, guess what, people died but on the wrong side. Dropping a couple of those animals on Day One of the riots would have shut down the mayhem, saved lives and millions of dollars in property. We had sympathy for blacks in those first few days because of the unfortunate death of George Floyd. No more, they lost more than they have gained. Now those sympathetic democrat governors will be asked to cash checks that they do not have.

Duty, Honor, and Country.
Soft coup from Old Generals after Nobama seemingly got rid of those with backbone who would have called him out for his treachery against our homeland?

Trump is always given advice on how to win, but I have noticed that Trump does win, and the Republicans giving the advice don't. I am not at all irritated by Trump. On the contrary, I am very thankful that we finally have one Republican, only one, that will fight. I wish we could get a second one, but that's asking a lot.

General Kelly cleans his grubby boots on the legacy of his own son. That is how deep the hate for Trump is among these globalist generals. I loathe these globalist perfumed princes, especially if they are in favor with Obama or Clinton.

@#6 - I love Trump's 'boorish' behavior! What should he do when attacked? Should he cower like Bush 43 did for 8 years and never address he detractors? What did that behavior do for Bush, other than label him a wimp? I love a president that fights back. Mattis, Romney, Murkowski, Collins, Kelly, McMaster - all deep state backstabbers defending the liberal status quo. We should all be thankful we have a real man in the WH and not some girl's bike riding UN blue helmet wearing wimp who bowed before world dictators while trashing the American people for clinging to our guns and religion.
