The much-heralded "adults in the room" like Mattis always ended up advocating for more troop deployments, rudderless interventionism, and general militaristic belligerence. There was nothing "adult" about it, just folly.

I'm by no means in favor of Bolton being anywhere near power, but the extent to which Mattis has "constrained" him or anyone else has been over-hyped.
