Summarily firing a guy nicknamed "Mad Dog" -- in fact telling him to immediately leave the one place he's worked all his life -- might not be a smart move.

Worth pondering that other Trump officials who are fired or quit have many reasons not to speak out: NDAs or membership of GOP, need for future jobs in wing-nut circuit, complicity in corruption. Mattis doesn't have anything like that. He doesn't have to hold back.

One other thing: a big part of Mattis' job in last two years was holding the hands of allies (especially France & Germany) & reassuring them that USA was reliable ally & to disregard Trump's tantrums. How are they going to interpret all this?

Mattis didn't write the sort of letter that lets anyone stick around 2 months. That was a "take this job and shove it" letter, and if it's what he thinks he should have walked out the same day.

Or at least expected that Trump would ask him to leave immediately, which Inhave to imagine Mattis did expect.
