Yet another important member of Trump's cabinet has left.
Mattis is one of the few remaining 'axis of adults' keeping the President in check.
Why do so many people keep leaving the Trump administration?

The President has a seriously simplistic view of how his office works - it works like his business deals work, you negotiate, and you play hard ball, and you expect to win all day every day.
The problem is, the White House does not run like that.
He is dealing with alliances that have existed for decades, lives have been lost to secure them, even more lives will be lost if they are broken.
From his child-like viewpoint, the President sees 'American troops abroad, we've beaten terrorism, no need for them to stay and fight any more'.
The fact is, a lot of American forces abroad are peace-keeping, not fighting, and their removal will allow Isis to sweep back in and all the gains made at such a loss of Allied lives will be destroyed.
The man is a fool, and a liability, he should be impeached for the incompetnant he is - today.

CNN, the 24/7 Hate Trump Network, headlined its story on the withdrawal “Trump orders rapid withdrawal from Syria in apparent reversal,” giving the impression that an erratic Trump was changing course, only to admit in the article itself that the President “has long signaled his desire to get out of Syria.”
Meanwhile, in his self-righteous and condescending resignation letter, which is being heralded by all the usual establishment suspects today as a positively Confucian outpouring of wisdom, even Mattis admits that he agrees with Trump on the salient issue at play in Syria: “Like you, I have said from the beginning that the armed forces of the United States should not be the policeman of the world.”
Someone who has volunteered to become a professional soldier? It's kind of in their job description, Khandro. I'm not going to run into burning buildings or start trying to catch criminals on my own, either. It's not something I'm qualified to do. That is an insane standard.
And the USA is the most powerful country in the world by some measure - whether the President likes it or not, that puts the US government in a position of responsibility. It also behoves someone in that position to avoid making policy by tweet. If the USA wants to shut in and isolate itself, and treat their allies like crap, it's going to find that the world doesn't look to Washington for leadership anymore.
