If you are a serviceman's parents and your child is stationed in a middle eastern hell hole, you are glad that Mattis is gone.  Wars are what kept him important.  If you think that Afghanistan is ready for democracy, you are delusional.  Syria is a money pit and quagmire, much like the whole middle east.  Mattis was a good general, average SOD.  Trump is finally getting it that the best cabinet hires are those who share his global and domestic vision.
