Media Offended After Mattis Tells Sailors, “You’re Not Some Pu$$y Sitting On The Sidelines”Time to mobilize the ***** hats in a march against Mattis.
Via NBC News:
Defense Secretary James Mattis isn’t keeping private any of his feelings about what it means to serve in the U.S. Navy.
In an Aug. 9 speech, Mattis bluntly praised Navy sailors for their service, telling them it meant “you’re not some pu$$y sitting on the sidelines.”
“You will have some of the best days of your life and some of the worst days of your life in the U.S. Navy, you know what I mean?” Mattis told sailors stationed at Naval Base Kitsap, in Washington state.
“That means you’re living. That means
you’re not some pu$$y sitting on the sidelines, you know what I mean, kind of sitting there saying, ‘Well, I should have done something with my life,’” Mattis added. “Because of what you’re doing now, you’re not going to be laying on a shrink’s couch when you’re 45 years old, saying ‘What the hell did I do with my life?’ Why? Because you served others, you served something bigger than you.”
A transcript of Mattis’ remarks was released by the Pentagon earlier this week.
In the speech, Mattis thanked sailors for “sticking with the Navy” and said he wished he was “young enough to go back out to sea.”
“Although, I will admit it takes a special kind of person to be in submarines. I was in the Marines, and there’s a world of difference between a submariner and a Marine, you know what I mean?” he said to laughter.
