In the aftermath of an
early morning test of a hydrogen bomb by North Korea Secretary of Defense James
Mattis, in a tersely worded statement said on Sunday, “We made it clear that we
have the ability to defend ourselves and our allies, South Korea and Japan,
from any attack and that our agreements with our allies are iron-clad. Any
threat to the United States or its territories including Guam, or our allies,
will be met with a massive military response, a response both effective and
overwhelming.”
“We are not looking to
the total annihilation of a country─namely North Korea,” Mattis concluded, “but
as I said, we have many options to do so.”
Mattis earned his “Mad
Dog” nickname during one of the hardest fought campaigns in Iraq. He was one of four commanders leading British
and American troops to take Fallujah from Iraqi insurgents after the fall of
Saddam Hussein.
Mattis is known for
having said, “No better friend, no worse enemy,” and “Be polite, be
professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet.”
His profile notes he is
able to quote Sun Tzu, Ulysses S. Grant, George Patton, Shakespeare and the
Bible. A 44-year military man, the
Secretary of Defense is the most renowned warrior of our day to the combat
initiated.
The fat kid is now
officially on Mad Dog Alert.
