>Newly minted Secretary of Defense James Mattis celebrated his first full day at the Pentagon by overseeing 31 strikes against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
>Mattis entered the Pentagon Saturday with a smile for his first full day of work, and for good reason, considering the significant bombardment ISIS forces received.
>A variety of fighters, bombers and remotely piloted aircraft engaged in the bombing run, which saw 25 strikes in Syria and six in Iraq. In Syria, two strikes destroyed ISIS units and artillery near the town of Bab. ISIS forces in Raqqa, the terrorist group’s de facto capital, took a heavy beating, as 22 strikes destroyed 12 tactical units, nine fighting positions, two underground improvised explosive bomb factories and an ISIS headquarters. The final strike targeted two ISIS oil wells in Deir ez Zour.
What a great man, there is no one more qualified than him.

Not gonna lie burgers, when I read this article I got a bit of a freedom boner.

As long as he only bombs ISIS he'll be God tier If he bombs Israels enemies he is a cuck

Very good! I just can't understand why the media is so obsessed about bashing this government. The media is an enemy
Nathan Johnson
General Mattis knows that you don't win by bombing things.
He also knows you don't win by leaking plans to the lugenpresse.
Jaxon Smith
he's going to have isis defeated before the end of the year
the man is the living embodiment of war. code named Chaos nobody on this planet loves killing as much as he does
Christian Wood
Start a petition to get media coverage of the fight against isis now
It's gonna be over soon
We need enough to make amvs
Brody Perry
You answered yourself. You do understand it.
Tyler Ortiz
Wrong. Israel's enemies are God's enemies. Only leftist atheist cucks oppose Israel.

Pretty much well this burger, I am interested to see what he does on day 2.

These figures are no different than typical daily bombings under Obama.

Did he actually order it though or was this going to happen today regardless?

Lucas Miller
Under Mattis Direction, he is assuring that we will not hold back like Obama did. We are going to launch as much as possible to glass them completely.

HAAHA
Jordan Ramirez
How is this any different from what we've already been doing?
Oh wait, I know - there's less Russiaboos saying the strikes were exaggerated or faked. Fucking hypocrite weekend patriots.
Who knows. The only difference now is that the media is going to put a microscope to the ME and North Africa as if drone strikes and clandestine operations have just begun.
Joshua Nguyen
He's got the reins now, that cuckold Ashton Carter got the boot the other day.
Carter Bailey
But has Tillerson moved his fat ass to talk with Assad and Putin yet to sort out this entire shitshow?
Mattis is the only cabinet member aside from Carson I like.
DaVos ideas are technically good to combat mass brainwashing but she's a fucking idiot and will probably become a massive liability, the others seem various shades of meh.
Charles Rogers
Sure, but he's secretary of state, not Executive Planner of Where to Bomb Things if that is a position.
Evan Butler
>reports
Make a thread when we get an actual picture or any real confirmation.

We've been bombing them for months. When he does something substantial let me know.

Do you get it now? This is what it used to be like... I'm so excited. Fuck, I love Mattis.

>The former Marine general is a known critic of the Obama administration’s ISIS policy, having once referred to it as full of “half measures.” >“half measures.”
A report saying that al-Baghdadi is either injured or dead appears literally every single month, there is no reason to believe this one will turn out to be true
Angel Watson
>day 1: kill all enemies >day 2: make jewelries and goblets from their bones, drop them at the CIA hq with a note "Next time, I advice you to train better dune coons - Mad Dog" and retire.
Jace Cruz
Fuck you and fuck Israel.
Kayden Rodriguez
>not much to look at once you scrap them off your boot
Angel Barnes
Secretary of Defense is literally "Executive Planner of Where to Bomb Things" and for once that position is filled by someone that actually knows what the fuck they are doing
Julian Kelly
That's a perfectly healthy reaction to even by-proxy contact with freedom, embrace it cousin
Michael Gray
not gonna lie, diamond solid freedom boner right now
Jeremiah Morris
this is an indictment of Obama he was holding back deliberately instead of making terrorism his #1 priority
Jason Taylor
Why can't we just nuke ISIS like we did Japan to make them surrender? That way there would be less bloodshed.
Mason Ortiz
This, there's no way they gathered the intelligence for these strikes in under 48 hours, meaning the intel for where to hit these goatfuckers was already in-hand and wasn't acted upon.
Joseph Turner
Nailed it, we are going to keep bombing and bombing their sorry asses, we are not going to stop until those fuckers are glassed.
If ISIL wants to try and target innocent civilians in the west, we will hit them even harder. We are just going to keep doubling down on the bombings until parts of Syria are like Swiss Cheese.
Jason Martinez
He is literally the minister of our war department. There's nothing stopping him from telling the commanding general of the army to saturate this grid square.
Thomas Turner
Kek
Xavier Morris
probably worried they they would hit "innocent" terrorists, or some other pussy shit instead of just going with the "bomb them till there is a crater, then bomb the crater" approach
Andrew Rodriguez
How "hard" do you intend to bomb them? Do you realise this strategy failed in Vietnam?
Nicholas Ortiz
Yah because sometimes its better to watch what they do for a bit before taking action.
Jacob Jones
Syria is already Swiss cheese. Coordinate bombing campaigns with the Assad regime and turn the country under his total control asap and get the fuck outa there.
David Peterson
>bomb them till there is a crater, then bomb the crater I'm worried about the side effects of having an erection for eight years straight Nigger the Syrian was is six years old.

you can't make this up
Asher Watson
meant for not
Nolan Reyes
Yeah.... and it's been a total Obama fuck up that can still be corrected.
Brandon Brown
Is russia now good guy? Everyone went apeshit when they attacked isis
Grayson Harris
So bad ass. We'll be done in no time.
Who's next after isis though?
I'm thinking Iran.
Or what would be super bad is is trump releasing Intel showing Saudi Arabia was behind 9/11 and then destroy that shithole too. Which would end OPEC forever.
Kevin Sanchez
What a fucking badass. So happy for the yanks right now. I hope the rest of us can get our shit together.
Adrian Ward
Life is better already
Colton Peterson
It should be noted that Chaos is an acronym and a badass misnomer that SecDef Mattis (
Juan Morales
Disregard then
Samuel Lopez
>Why can't we just nuke ISIS like we did Japan to make them surrender? That way there would be less bloodshed.
Because these are religious extremists who belief they are fighting for their God. Nothing will deter them.
Also, using nukes would probably just radicalize more of them, not to mention piss off basically every country on either.
Noah Stewart
Operation rolling thunder inflicted heavy casualties on the VC and Vietnamese regulars. It was an operational success. The problem was holding the territory with troops. There is no occupying force needed when terrorists are concentrated in known areas.
Oliver Flores
How many of you know what this is?
Evan Cruz
>Saudi Arabia
Juan Phillips
Those dirty fucking leaves. We shall absorb them one day.
Camden Long

Jason Gonzalez
Strikes that support the Syrian soldiers stuck in Deir Ezzor. I mean, last year you actually bombed 80 Assad soldiers during a cease fire in Deir Ezzor by (((accident))) so this is a massive improvement.
Isaac Gonzalez
The bombing failed to prevent North Vietnamese incursion into South Vietnam, it was an operational and strategic failure.
If you couldn't bomb an actual nation state into giving up, why do you think you can bomb an international insurgency into giving up?
Jordan Powell
Only because we were funding ISIS while pretending they were just good boys who dindu nuffin (just out on their way to get a good education at church, just need about $3.50 and some RPGs) and Russia started bombing our president's sons.
>make every inch of ground explode and catch fire >this strategy does not work
Christopher Hill
Saudi Arabia = United Arab Emirates = Israel = USA
Jack Fisher
I mean encouraging a bunch of "lone wolf" Muslims in America to start stabbing and blowing shit up
Eli Gomez
remember, this is the man who bombed weddings because they were good targets. god bless this man.
Easton Moore
Are you literally advocating the unrestrained use of nuclear weapons against Syria and Iraq?
Nolan King
>russia protects assad from usa proxies >good/bad?
Ian Jackson
He doesn't respect them at all!

that's a good thing, it just proves that no muslims can be trusted and we kick them all out
