You think that as a General he never had to deal with things like budgets? That's half of a general's job, believe it or not. A general isn't just someone who makes and carries out a plan of action, they also have to mind the finances and they usually have a small cadre of people helping him to mind the books. Take it from someone who's worked the Captain's Wardroom - the budget is always something that's simmering away on any CO's back burner.
As I mentioned before, General Mattis is a warrior first and foremost. I'd put good money on him taking one good long look at that report and it would not be long before he starts weighing the pros and cons; and his primary goal is going to be more money for troops, marines, sailors and airmen, and the equipment they need.
And he'll definitely fight for the welfare of the enlisted men - the man enlisted before becoming a commissioned officer.
Yep, that's right. Mad Dog is a Mustang, and I think he's got very little patience for bullshit.
