US Defence Secretary Jim Mattis resigns - SilverFang01 - 12-20-2018
It seems this was the result of the omnishambles combined with a catastrofuck that President Dumbbell just made in the Middle East, with the Kurds getting the shaft.
Quote:In his resignation letter, Gen Mattis described his views on "treating allies with respect" and using "all the tools of American power to provide for the common defence".
"Because you have the right to have a secretary of defence whose views are better aligned with yours on these and other subjects, I believe it is right for me to step down," Gen Mattis wrote.

One less adult in the room, that's all we bloody need. Still, I have to respect him for sticking it out for this long.
