"Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet."

This is a quote from Donald Trump's pick for Secretary of Defense James "Mad Dog" Mattis. Sounds familiar? Batman had a similar aproach to other super heroes. 

A few facts about James "Mad Dog" Mattis:

• Marine troops under his comand gave him the "Mad Dog" nickname after Mattis led the Iraq War's second battle of Fallujah.
• Mattis is also known as a "warrior monk," a nod to his intellect and expertise as well as his marital status: 66-year-old Mattis has never wed.
• Mattis fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, where his call-sign was "chaos".
• Mattis is the guy that convinced Trump that waterboarding wasn't useful. "I've always found, give me a pack of cigarettes and a couple of beers and I do better with that than I do with torture," He told Trump.
• “They say he is the closest thing to General George Patton that we have.” - Donald Trump on Mattis.

Took some of these facts from here.

This guy also have some interesting quotes. Here is a few:

• 'There is nothing better than getting shot at and missed. It’s really great.' 
• 'If in order to kill the enemy you have to kill an innocent, don't take the shot. Don't create more enemies than you take out by some immoral act.' 
• 'The most important six inches on the battlefield is between your ears.' 
• 'Engage your brain before you engage your weapon.'
• 'The first time you blow someone away is not an insignificant event. That said, there are some a**holes in the world that just need to be shot.

Bonus Mad Memes:

 

The response to this pick has been overwhelmingly positive, some consider it Trumps best pick yet. Of course haters will soon be critical and I can't wait for their highly creative criticism. This time it might be a bit harder but here is an article that calls this cabinet pick uncostitutional. Is not much, but still a good way to get the hate started.
