Before getting to putting the pieces I picked up from the #HobbyLobby I dropped the pieces for my #MedalOfHonor to be encased in glass, I feel the importance to write about an individual who I have had a personal feeling about for many years. I know I heard about him when listening to the #news many years ago though there was minimal of his thoughts and opinions comparatively back then. Honestly, there is a limited amount of his statements to others in a public way even now at this point in time though far more than previously. The individual known as #GeneralJamesMattis is a name that stuck in my thoughts when I was living in #SanAntonio #Texas before ever moving to the #Carrollton Texas area. Only recently when driving around different areas had I noticed the sign at 122 on 281 with the road names of #PriestRoad and #MattisRoad, though I had not driven that way on 281 until at minimum of 2004 or 2005 when my son and my daughter were around the ages of either 4 and 3 or 5 and 4 if I am correct when going to #SouthPadreIsland for a few days.
Only recently in 2019 and 2020 when going to Corpus Christi to go the the ocean area as well as for my Medal of Honor Art Project had I noticed the road sign 122 with the name #Mattis, though I can remember seeing the road name Priest around the year of 2007 or 2008. I was on a trip to see different areas in the nearby vicinity of San Antonio and specifically when that sign was first noticed because I had recently counted how long it had been between the birth of my son, and the birth of my daughter. One year, two weeks, and two days; which is why the sign number had caught my attention. Now having seen that sign since returning to the state of Texas after ironically winding up in Washington state which is his home state, I can find some ironic coinky dinks in a multitude of ways. Then when taking the number of the highway of 2+8+1 equaling 11 or 9 and 11; some might also be able to see other correspondences in an ironic coinky dink, and twist of thoughts in various ways especially in conjunction in regards of General James Mattis. Adding I named my son as the name of James Michael as well as my personal thoughts about the Marine Corps, and there are quite a few other oddities in various ways in conjunction of my own personal religious and spiritual views when combining the aspects of the road name of Priest with the road name of Mattis; and the irony of him apparently being raised #Catholic and my attending Catholic High School during the 1990s, after I attempted to attend #MAST a Marine and Science Technology School with a Naval Academy attachment Apparently in his career, he had been in charge of a Naval attachment which is a whole other ball of wax and ironic coinky dink in its own right.
As a quick side note when taking into consideration the scientific aspects of the #BigBangTheory in conjunction of the #StringTheory one can see hypothetically the events of 11 September 2001 as the first of the two, with the causation of the second when looking at correlating effects instantly; in conjunction with the religious and spiritual aspects literally in that specific sign, especially for those who know how military training is precise before stepping out. Though I did not graduate Basic Training, I did quite a bit of studying prior to fighting to join the #Army branch of the #UnitedStatesofAmerica's #ArmedForces; and I could see easily the ritualistic points, to ensure the safety of as many individuals when necessary to go into a battle and/or war when seeing and paying attention to religious services at #OldTennentPresbyterianChurch specifically. As that church was used as a hospital during the Revolutionary War, the Pastor at the time I attended was a Chaplain in the Army branch , #GeneralGeorgeWashington's private latrine is behind the church, the monuments for the soldiers of the United States of America, and more; there are quite a few other correlations which can be seen., including the fact the grounds of the church are within the tri-county area of the largest amount of commuters to #NewYorkCity and the #WorldTradeCenter when I was growing up there .
In reference back to General James Mattis of which my favorite meme I found one day of his sayings is the following:
Possibly one of the far less politically correct statements though in full truth, the type of individual which I can personally enjoy such type of personality. I would guesstimate though he is who he is and I am who I am, if ever to meet would be able to talk for hours and days without any breaks and have quite a bit of fun. That is a personal bias I admit though I also think he is quite a looker in my opinion, aside from his military expertise. The day I found that meme, was the day I noticed how damn good looking that male is. ;-) However, back to the more serious topics involving such.
I have discussed and written about my personal views of individuals who are put in charge whether through the electoral process and/or through whatever means in political aspects if you are going to be in command of the various aspects of the United States of America's Armed Forces, I personally believe there is a need for a military background; especially in reference to the President of the United States of America, though also involving the choices in reference to the troop movements and the various aspects of not only making sure the #activeduty/#nationalguard/#reservists are properly maintained though also for the #veterans when they are done with their particular military service to ensure the betterment of the individuals and groups to also maintain the United States of America on the home-front just in case. In another aspect in reference to when having to accept the fact when there are battles and wars there are casualties in which the compassion necessary to ensure the correct treatments are available for each, though also the preparedness when the times arise and the necessities are mandatory. The acceptance of the realities of there are casualties on each side of a battle and/or war is a point which must be acknowledged and the respect due to each who willingly became a part of such, is also a mandatory aspect which I personally believe and doubt I am the only one who sees as such. If the commander is incapable of acknowledging the realities thereof, then the commander either must come to that understanding or choose another to step up to the point of command to ensure the proper maintenance of each are well taken care of.
Admittedly not until the recent times have I looked far more into General James Mattis and such has been more-so in reference to feelings not of the emotional type though more of the energetic aspects picked up over the years, of the pertinence for such an individual to be as he has been and I believe continues to be as he can. I think he has taught many to look into various angles to pay attention to and has prepared his soldiers under his command for the various outcomes in ways many top commanding soldiers do the best they can do, and I doubt there would be a larger number to disagree than to agree. In my opinion those with minimal if any military backgrounds would take a look at him and instead of seeing the fullness of such backgrounds in certain regards, would pay more attention to the brashness of the words in comparison to the results in both the short term and the long term comparatively as the for lack of a better term than fluffiness has seemingly pervaded a bit much throughout various areas. There is a good sort of fluffiness obviously, though when the fluffiness turns into a bunch of sniveling whiny temper tantrums not for any excuse other than to be heard in comparison to throwing a temper tantrum for valid reasons; I believe there are those with specific backgrounds who can see such childishness from full grown adults as nothing more than a toddler throwing a fit because of not getting a toy they wanted when they wanted it and causing havoc in such simply because of the actual lack of words comparatively.
When there are females and males who have seen the ugliest of the horrid and still are capable to do the right thing and move forward for the betterment of themselves, their groups, and society as a whole without being tainted by the extreme turmoil to continue forward to progress in more positive ways and manners such brashness in words are the least of anyone's concerns, as those individuals know the fullness of the good and the bad of life to press on and do more than just sit around and cry over nothingness. It is important to acknowledge the feelings of emotions however to allow such to overrun oneself instead of continuing forward when processing such emotions, then is when the problems arise and the weaknesses overtake the strengths. It is extremely pertinent to maintain the strengths while acknowledging the weaknesses in ways of such to push forward through the weaknesses to turn such into stronger points and persevere, while continuing to maintain the strengths to become greatness. I would guesstimate an individual such a General Mattis among those whom he has worked with in whatever capacity may have learned such as well as shown such through their actions well beyond their words not only in the battlefields of conflict overseas, though also within the halls of the political arenas and possibly even within the civilian sector. I believe such is an inspiration in a positive way for many, if viewed in the correct light which I could see a group of individuals throughout the top centers of various commanding officers and non-commissioned officers when listening to various individuals when speaking as listening to various news reports including #SecretaryofState #CIA Director #MikePompeo as well as others who have publicly spoken in favor of various pertinent aspects for the safety of the United States of America both home and abroad including the allies to the United States of America.
In such reference points of which the aspects he also had given reading material to improve the various soldiers under his command a way to retrain their thoughts as well as expand their intellect, is one of a few additional reasons as to why the aspects of which hypothetically I picked up energetically and have been a proponent for individuals similar to the way he had been and is in reference to such as for far too long there have been many who had incorrect opinions of military personnel. Though I know there is the term crayon eater in terms of the Marine Corps realistically despite such terms in regards of and admittedly through my own biases, I have known there has been much overlooked in regards of the Marine Corps and their intelligence despite what others may think. I have read and heard of General Mattis' distaste for the term #MadDog and though the reason given in regards of the interview I recently listened to had been the reference of the untrained and ill-tempered individual, personally I thought the term is well fitted for such in a multitude of ways. This would be the recent video I listened and watched of and interview, involving General Mattis. One interview on #CBS #SundayMorning with #DavidMartin and the other interview on #FoxNation #UncommonKnowledge #HooverInstitute with #ReterRobinson
When taking a look at the historical reference during #WorldWarII of what the enemy had called the #Marines who stormed the beaches of #Normandy, I think he might have a different view of such a nickname in regards of how he operated when in command and giving orders during the times needed in some ways. Possibly in various situations when having discussions with certain individuals and groups he might be able to also see such a nickname to be of value especially when the correct choices were made, despite the arguing which took place at the times of. In another way in reference to the Mad Dog title when thinking about how specific breeds get when protecting and doing such while not degrading in such a reference, though bringing forward the positive attributes of; possibly such can be seen not only by him though also by those who have known him, and be able to see such a term more-so as an endearment in comparison. Adding the loyalty aspects in reference of the dog and in such in reference to how he is in reference of the #MarineCorps as well as the United States of America, I think such could be seen in a more positive light as well; especially in reference to his quote in regards of "no better friend, no worse enemy", when looking at such a reference.
In addition to the aspects of the Chaos aspect (Colonel has an outstanding solution), a few points can similarly be made in reference to the Mad Dog aspects, than just the ones I wrote of above. Just a few to think about possibly:
Mad Dog can be: Maximum Aviation Demand(ed)/(ing) Destroy(ed)/(ing) Opposition Ground
Made/Make Attack Demolition Despair On Governed/Group
Military Advancement Designated Decoy Observation Gravitational
Or Backwards can be: Great Obstacles Demolished Destination Amazement Made
Good Operation Determined Demoralizing Affair Marked
Grades of Demonstration/Decisions Determin(ed)/(ing) Administration Math
Though the list could go on, those are a simple few for a possible change of look to such a nickname as he and others know of the achievements made throughout the aspects which he and others were a part of who know far greater details in comparison to myself. In a different reference though also along the same lines, of such:
General James Mattis, especially since he enjoys reading and if he is into the aspects of Chess:
General: Great Engineering Needed Everywhere Ready At Length
James: Justice Adventure Making Echoing Sounds
Mattis: Mathematical America Terminology Thinks In Situations
Checkers Has Elapsed Simpletons' Standings
Maybe he and others can smile and grin, at such. However in reference to my Medal of Honor Art Project and learning of the highest ranking officer who was awarded the Medal of Honor had been a Major General and if similar to me being surprised of so many which were not as high ranking officers who had been a part of being a part of the battlefield with the soldiers along with, I guesstimate with his background he could understand as to why I had been surprised by such. While the pertinence of having the need to have higher ranking soldiers in various aspects, though also knowing the need to have the higher ranking soldiers within the battlefield to make the decisions when sometimes needing to override certain orders at times not in an act of defiance; though in a choice for the best choice needed, for the betterment and knowledge of the understanding of the field of the warfare occurring. That of which I have a feeling he could understand and comprehend in far more, than some individuals throughout. Though I doubt in many ways, he and I would be the only ones for such a thought and belief of.
In such I think it would be a great privilege to be able to spend time with General James Mattis and simply be around such greatness, while discussing various aspects of multiple points in life and experiences of; not that I would ever deny Mike Pompeo or others of similar character, of discussions of course. However admittedly, I also would enjoy taking a look through his library and discussing various aspects within the pages of in reference to notations he made in the pages as well as specific viewpoints as to what struck him specifically and why along with several other aspects. Though not nearly as interesting as him, I would guess there might be a few questions of me he might have as well if such were to be allowed with him. I would guess more than just a few hours would be needed for such an aspect, though well worth such to me if he has the time. Admittedly if I met him, he would have to brace himself for a Faery hug.
He has been an individual which my ears perked up when listening to the news at various points no matter what I was taking care of at the moment whether I was able to look at the screen of the television or not, as there were specific points which caught my attention especially before more recent times. I originally posted the top picture meme many years ago probably somewhere between 10 to 12 or possibly a few more years ago as today is 12 September 2020, though I know I heard his voice prior to that time.
