    Hello Rosie:

    If I was a marine, I'd have trouble following a general named Powder Puff Mattis.

    What about simply calling him General Mattis? Why the need for more than that? Of what use/value is it? It sounds like a cartoonish character. How does "Mad Dog" live up to his name? It sounds like someone whose brain is not engaged appropriately because he is insanely crazy and acting erraticly. A loose cannon. Out of control. I see "Mad Dog" foaming at the mouth. Isn't that what "mad dogs" do? OK. So we disagree. No biggie. Thank you for your reply excon and Happy Wednesday! :)

    Well General Mattis has stated that he doesn't really like being called Mad Dog. So I think it would be an act of stupidity to call him that because  he could ripe most peoples throats out in a heart beat. What gets me is Trump knows that but he still insists on referring to him as Mad Dog. Cheers!

    Thank you for that information Nanoose. I had not heard that. Doofus Donny doesn't give a rat's a** about what people prefer. He is gonna do/say what he is gonna do/say and doesn't care about anything or anyone but himself. He makes that abundantly clear 24/7.  So General Mattis would like to be addressed as General Mattis. Makes sense to me. He sounds like anything BUT a mad dog.  Happy Wednesday to thee!  :)
