>The passage details a particular moment in which Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis unleashed on former White House press secretary Sean Spicer after the latter badgered the general to appear on more television shows.
>Mattis is said to have an aversion to TV appearances, and has only made a single appearance on a network show since Trump took the oval.
Probably cuz he knows those shows are set up as public shaming operations.
Great interview that General Mattis gave to a HS journalist last year.

MATTIS: Probably the most important thing is to get involved. You’ll gain courage when you get involved. You’ll gain confidence, you’ll link with people, some of whom will agree with you and some won’t, and as a result, you’ll broaden your perspective. If you do that, especially if you study history, you realize that our country has been through worse and here’s how they’ve found their way through that.
Here’s what leaders did, here’s what educators did, here’s what business people did, here’s what soldiers did, here’s what politicians did, and you can sometimes see, by weaving together that tapestry, how to go forward.
You lose your paralysis, you lose your, I would almost call it unproductive worry, and you replace it with productive action.
