NO, General Mattis DOES NOT Need a Waiver to Be Sec of Defense

The web is buzzing over news that General James Mattis is Trump's pick for Secretary of Defense. Liberals of course are up in arms over this selection claiming he hasn't been out of the service long enough to hold a cabinet position. They are citing Section 903(a) of the National Defense Authorization Act that requires a 7 year wait period to become eligible. This is really bugging the hell out of me especially from Fox, even more so for 2 actual journalists Bret Baier and Jennifer Griffin WHO REPORTED on Mattis being forced out, to get this wrong! It's boggling how quickly everyone has forgotten obama FIRED Mattis, he DID NOT retire! YES, Mattis was set to retire but obama fired him before his actual day of retiring (allegedly 3 mos before) from the Marine Corps! For the record you can announce you're retiring and change your mind at the last second. So while he was most likely on his way out fact is obama flat out booted him. His firing is no different from what any of us have experienced in the work world!

As a matter of fact Mattis was among 200 generals and admirals who were purged from the military during obama's reign of terror, over the last 8 years that drastically weakened our military. Mattis, as Griffin notes, got the boot over his position with Iran. Anyone who disagreed with obama's agenda was kicked out. We saw how well that all worked out with Iraq back in chaos, Taliban still on the march in Afghanistan, the rise of ISIS, China and Russia emboldened, the list goes on and on.Obama is a complete and total disaster when it comes to national security so we welcome the General and if need be a waiver law that names him to be the next Secretary of Defense.

Now if I have it wrong so do all of these sites who reported on his firing back in 2013:

Obama Fires Top General Without Even a Phone Call - Weekly Standard
Firing a General For the Sake of a Feasible Strategy - Georgetown Journal of International Affairs
Exit another fighting gen. - NY Post
Report: Gen. Mattis Forced Out of CENTCOM for Questioning Obama's Advisers - Breitbart
Report: Washington Didn’t Even Tell Marine Gen. He Was Being Replaced - The Blaze

You can be sure democrats will do everything in their power to stop his appointment, but again obama fired him!

College Students Sign Petition to Make Gruber Sec of Defense

Here we go with another example of how clueless and frankly stupid the future of America has become. Isn't it about time to stop calling these institutions colleges & universities and just make it official calling them progressive indoctrination centers?!

There have been so many videos like this with students (supposedly intelligent ones) more than willing to sign petitions giving away rights, undermine the Constitution, imprison or deport fellow Americans. Parents you really need to consider where you are sending your children for higher education but more importantly why! Jobs are scarce with 100 million Americans out of work, many possessing higher education holding a bachelors, masters even a doctorate. Granted some have degrees in useless majors but many do not. It is progressives who started the lie we have to have a degree to get ahead. The same progressives who run the schools that put millions of Americans into an estimated $2 trillion in debt! The same progressives who then manipulate and convince those who cannot find work after getting the degree they had to have capitalism and big business is at fault. Does anyone see the vicious cycle progressives have created all the while brainwashing students who willfully agree to sign a fictitious petition like the one in this video or others like it!?

Not knocking getting a higher education, I have a bachelors in business (did nothing for me) but people should pursue one only for jobs/ fields that truly require higher education; science, medicine, high tech, law etc. If you want to open store to sell widgets just do it, don't waste years and money on an education you don't need. English Lit is not going to be that much help if you want to run computer business!
