    My favorite Mattis story: Christmas Day 1998. Brigadier General Mattis learned that a young Marine on watch duty that day had a wife and little kids. So Mattis volunteered to take his place, and spent the day manning a guard gate at Quantico so the Marine could be w his family.

        Asked what he was doing, Mattis said “I looked at the duty roster for today and a young major had it who is married and had a family; I’m a bachelor, I thought why should the major miss out on the fun of having Christmas with his family, and so I took the duty for him.”

        Mattis is a real man and will go down in history as one of the few men with integrity in this whole debacle.

        Also around Christmas in the 90s, Donald Trump once told a kid where the lobby was at the Plaza hotel so they’re basically equally thoughtful guys.

        Funny story about that. He would only let the building be used for filming if he could appear in the movie.
