Many of us delude ourselves that Jim Mattis is a buffer between
Trump's insanity and Armageddon. That buffer might be wearing
thin.....
Well, something bad happened to General Mattis
justify his deployment of thousands of troops to the border by talking
about the threat of Mexican revolutionaries more than a century ago,
it probably would have sailed right past me. Hyperbole, hysteria and
convenient invocations of history are the native tongue of this
administration, whose members were either fluent in it beforehand or
picked it up quickly.
But Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, who recently evoked that specter,
was supposed to speak a better language. He was known to be a saner
amid the corruption and the barricade against disaster. I like to
think that millions of American parents instructed their children to
expand their bedtime prayers. Watch over Mommy. Protect Daddy. And
Well, something bad happened to General Mattis.
On Wednesday he traveled to southernmost Texas to visit those troops.
The trip was a good and necessary thing. President Trump, for all his
mingle with or pay tribute to servicemen and servicewomen; somebody
noble goal. He was trying to assure them that if they missed
propping up of this president requires it.
Pancho Villa was a Mexican revolutionary who, along with hundreds of
armed followers, attacked an American border town, burning houses and
killing people, before retreating back into Mexico, where President
Woodrow Wilson ordered him pursued. Mattis revisited that episode in
remarks to reporters on his way to Texas.
