Lt. Gen. James Mattis, who commanded Marine expeditions in Afghanistan and Iraq, has said that it is actually fun to shoot some people during a panel discussion in San Diego, California. (That is, he said it during the panel discussion; whether he finds it fun to shoot some people during the panel discussion is not sure.)
Now the press and the guy's bosses have their panties in a bunch, although the bosses are probably just putting the show in for the press. Hello? What did they expect? Why would somebody who doesn't find it fun to shoot people become a Marine Lt. Gen.?
Maybe they should have some kind of a questionnaire for the people who decide to become career officers in the Marines:
"You have chosen to be a Marine because:
- you enjoy making the world safe for democracy
- you enjoy shooting people
- you like participating in panel discussions in San Diego, California"
