1. “My name’s Mattis.” The SecDef stops to talk to troops (in Jordan, maybe?) and gives some revealing remarks. https://t.co/k1C9pmsSYJ

6. Mattis: “You just hold the line until our country gets back to understanding and respecting each other and showing it…”

9. Mattis: “& we’ve got the power of intimidation. And that’s you, if someone wants to screw with our families, our country & our allies.”
