  1. This puts General Mattis in a very positive light. If his ambitions and philosophies really add up to what has been described, then he is an exceptionally competent commander of armed forces. However, my natural skeptic side finds it a little bit "too good",and makes me want to question your sources a little. Can we be certain that the authors of your sources aren't biased in some way and have some sort of self-interest in portraying General Mattis in an extremely favorable light? Do take note that i'm focusing more on the sources now rather than you personally, because you concluded your video with a high degree of integrity and intellectual honesty by admitting that you primarily made this video to present your own personal interpretation and impression of the information that you've gathered from the source material so far. And i'm not going to flat out say that the sources are wrong or misrepresentative in any way (I haven't read them, so I couldn"t possibly know). My instinct just make my "too good to be true"-radar flash if you get my meaning? Although I certainly hope he is just as competent and inspiring as your sources and this video presents him to be. All soldiers who put their lives on the line in service to their country deserve competent commanders. Even if their civilian national leaders don'r always have noble goals with their military actions.
