Former U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis penned a reflective condemnation of his old boss, President Donald Trump, and urged Americans to reject the"tribalism" and divisive rhetoric stirred up by the current administration.at Trump's"polemicist" leadership style and strategic political divisiveness he says is hurting the country both home and abroad. Mattis, who earned the nickname"Mad Dog" during his more than 40-year U.S.
Mattis noted that he"told him to go home" after repeated requests for him to use a more positive, constructive leadership style -- a common criticism of the president. Mattis wrote that he didn't think President-Elect Trump would even consider him for the Secretary of Defense job back in January 2017:"I figured that my strong support of NATO and my dismissal of the use of torture on prisoners would have the president-elect looking for another candidate.
"What concerns me most as a military man is not our external adversaries; it is our internal divisiveness," Mattis wrote."All Americans need to recognize that our democracy is an experiment -- and one that can be reversed. We all know that we're better than our current politics. Tribalism must not be allowed to destroy our experiment."
