MATTIS FIRING: JUST ANOTHER DAY AT THE OFFICE.

ICHEOKU says it was wrong for the outgoing Defense Secretary, James Mad Dog Mattis, to so publicly rebuke the President and Commander In Chief and the man at whose pleasure he served; and should have shown some respect at least to the office of the president, even if he does not like or disagrees with the president. President Donald John Trump was elected president by the American people and anyone who disagrees with what he I doing or what his policy initiative and direction is, should trash it out with the American people who elected him, but must learn to respect the choice which they made on November 6, 2016. It is not debatable and it admits of little to no choice in the matter. Therefore, irrespective of how any of those Washington insiders may feel or think, America has only one elected president and President Donald John Trump is that person, case closed. 

Therefore, anyone called upon to serve in the administration must either conform to the policy directive of the president or take the exit; no backbiting and no talking back nor grudging snipes will be entertained or tolerated. There is no exception to the rule and it does not matter how highly regarded the official is, as everyone of them is subordinate to the President and Commander In Chief who appointed them into office. James Mad Dog Mattis is not an exception to the rule, thus firing him was in order, as he disrespected the office of the president by openly castigating the president and challenging his right to the office by disregarding his order and by necessary implication, questioning his decision making capability. 

Those too big to control appointees in the administration should make way for those self disciplined individuals, who understands the boundaries of their appointment and are fully aware that there is only one president of the United States of America who was elected to direct the policy initiative of the country to step in. America does not have room for more than one president at a time and any appointee who cannot check his ego to this consequential fact should move on or be fired. If any appointee feels that they do not like the direction of the government or the type of foreign policy they are pursuing, they should leave or even run for president themselves and if they win, then drive the ball of the State as they see fit; but they must not be a passenger in another man's vehicle and want to impose their will on how the vehicle will be driven. 

President Donald John Trump was elected by the American people who are tired of how things have been going on and wanted an entirely new direction. Nobody serving in his government has any superior right to anything, including the right to first refusal other than the president. If James Mad Dog Mattis was given a notice long time ago, 8 months to be precise, that the mission in Syria should be wound down within the next six months and two months after the deadline, he has not taken any steps to implement the directive, that actually amounts to insubordination and disobedience of a lawful order from a superior authority. So the question should in fact be why did James Mad Dog Mattis not obey the president's directive and if he strongly disagrees with the president, why did he not turn in his resignation, rather than wait to be fired and now acting out with open letters of disagreements. 

Why would James Mad Dog Mattis play the game which all of those Washington establishment members play? Why would James Mad Dog Mattis disobey his boss, the President's directive, only to now say what? That he knows better than the man who was elected to drive the policy and foreign relations football of the United States of America, who appointed him into office and at whose pleasure he served. But as with every other thing else which the crooked media covers, concerning the president, they are now making the James Mad Dog Mattis firing appear as if the president took him by surprise, when in fact it was James Mattis that indeed took the president by surprise by not only carrying not carrying out an express directive  but now lashing out against the president, when he was given 8 months notice hers up, which is now two months past due, to wind down the Syrian operation. If he knew that the president should have the type of defense secretary that he can work with, why did he not resign or rather change into the type of defense secretary he knows the president would rather have.

Anyway, in any government or administration, every appointee is dispensable and even the president if need be; so as James Mattis goes another person will fill his shoes. The Pentagon was there long before James Mattis arrived and so will the Pentagon remain there long after James Mattis is gone. Hopefully, the president will quickly find a very competent hand to man the tiller at the Defense Department and life, as always, goes on. Many members of Team MAGA thought that Mad Dog Mattis would have been above the fray and crass partisanship of Washington DC, and would have worked with the leader of Team MAGA seamlessly, but it turned out not to be so. Our allegiance lies and remains with the president and we are sticking with him until after his second term in 2023. Therefore, the president can fire whoever the heck he wants to fire, as nothing will or can sever our allegiance to him and we shall reelect him to a second term come 2020. So long Jim.
