Defense Secretary Jim Mattis is resigning, effective in February. And, like former secretary of state Rex Tillerson, he’s not exactly making his concerns about President Trump a big secret. In his resignation letter, Mattis strongly suggests he doesn’t have much faith in Trump’s vision or leadership. That is why we must use all the tools of American power to provide for the common defense. I very much appreciate this opportunity to serve the nation and our men and women in uniform.
