    For only the second time since 9/11, America's defense secretary didn't visit U.S. troops in a war zone during December, breaking a long-standing tradition. http://abcn.ws/2zN4Ypy

        Gonna have to side with Mattis on this one. VIP visits were terribly disruptive and didn't accomplish anything other than photo ops for them. We would have rather been left alone and given some extra rec time, tbh.

        In all fairness, the retired General Mad Dog is busy chasing Trump's bald tires. Unfortunately an outstanding American tradition has been temporarily suspended. Happy New Year to all members and families of our US military ...pic.twitter.com/wXDPrc2gf7

        Mattis is the only person in this whole lot I think is decent. I hope you are right here. I'm sure trying to manage Trump would exhaust any of us.

        “President Donald Trump hasn't yet gone to the war front”...how can he when he’s only been in office less than a year and he has golfing to do?

        Maybe I'm mistaken about James Mattis. It's one thing to not visit our troops, it's inexcusable to not offer a decent reason for it.

        Mattis has been there. He knows all the hoops that have to be jumped through when a VIP wants to visit. He did them a favor by not coming during Christmas. Anyone who has deployed downrange knows these visits are not morale boosters.

        "wanted the troops to enjoy their holiday uninterrupted. He is keenly aware of the logistical challenges of a senior leader visit, especially in a war zone."

        Creep. I missed three Christmases in war zones and just hearing the Sec. of Def. was in country made it a little better.

        Yeah! He is the only career military guy to be Secretary of Defense in that time! He knows better than the 1 yr, 2 yr, and guys who didn't serve. Who knows better a sergeant, 2nd Lt, someone who didn't serve, or a retired USMC General?
