Marine Gen. James Mattis is a legend in the Corps, as much for his intellect as his candor. Here are the 5 best quotes from the iconic Marine leader.
Marines love Gen. James Mattis, and with good reason. He’s a Marine’s Marine, which means he always speaks his mind.
A former enlisted Marine who entered the Corps in 1969, Mattis received his commission as an infantry officer in 1972. He served in the Persian Gulf War, where he commanded 1st Battalion, 7th Marines. Mattis led Task Force 58 into southern Afghanistan at the onset of the war. In Iraq, he commanded troops during the first and second Battles of Fallujah, and alongside now-retired Army Gen. David Petraeus, oversaw the development of the Army and Marine Corps counterinsurgency doctrine that would come to define and shape both wars.
