[SeriousStudent]

I thought this was an excellent interview:

After obtaining his contact information through its accidental exposure by the Washington Post, The MIHS Islander contacted Secretary of Defense James Mattis for an interview. Two companion pieces to this article, a description and reflection on the experience of getting and conducting the interview as well as a feature on the connection between education and radicalization according to Mattis, have been published online.



A good read, I thought you all might enjoy it.

Awesome article and great interview... thanks for sharing it. Now I know why SecDef Mattis is so highly thought of.

The guy is a national treasure; he's some sort of combination of historian and Rambo.

A gentleman and a scholar.

Very much agree, and I do hope for the overseas readers, that is what they take away from the interview.

Diplomacy backed by a lack of capability or will is a good description of Neville Chamberlain.

At least one sober person is in charge.
