His nickname is Mad Dog, but it\u2019s really misapplied. He\u2019s a warrior-general and one of the most educated, and he\u2019s a no-nonsense, achievement-oriented guy. And there\u2019s a statement going around about him that is being misconstrued. Here is the sound bite&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>MATTIS: You go into Afghanistan; you got guys who slap women around for five years \u2019cause they didn\u2019t wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain\u2019t got no manhood left anyway, so it\u2019s a hell of a lot of fun to shoot \u2019em.<\/p>\n<p>AUDIENCE: (chuckling)<\/p>\n<p>MATTIS: You know? I mean, it\u2019s a good fight.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: What they\u2019re trying to say is, &#8220;This guy just loves shootin\u2019 people! You see that? He said it\u2019s fun to go around shooting people!&#8221; He\u2019s talking about shooting men who slap women around in Afghanistan if they don\u2019t have the veil on. He is a good guy. He\u2019s one of the greatest appointments that could have been happened for SecDefense, and we\u2019ll have more on him next week.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: &nbsp;NBC News just sent out this exclusive email:&nbsp;
