According to three former Clinton campaign advisers, the former secretary of state and Mattis had a very positive relationship, predating the campaign. Though no final decisions were made on who would serve as the defense secretary in a Clinton administration that never happened, Mattis was still someone Team Hillary regarded highly.

 

Mattis and senior Clinton staffers stayed in touch during the presidential campaign, and the former advisers said they solicited his advice on foreign policy and national security matters. The 2016 Clinton team even tried to recruit Mattis to publicly endorse Hillary for president against Trump

Two former secretaries of state, George Schultz and Henry Kissinger, as well as former Defense Secretary William Perry and ex-Sens. Bill Frist and Sam Nunn also were on the star-studded board.

So far, the general has support from many lawmakers, including Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., the chairman of the Armed Services Committee who promised a quick hearing on the nomination next year.

 

The 2001 friendly fire incident, which was chronicled in the book The Only Thing Worth Dying For, occurred while Mattis was in command of Camp Rhino in southern Afghanistan where aircraft were stationed. Amerine was leading a group of 10 Special Forces soldiers.

 

The Green Berets were with future Afghan President Hamid Karzai and were helping to bring about an initial Taliban surrender when the bomb struck.

 

“Every element in Afghanistan tried to help us except the closest friendly unit, commanded by Mattis,” wrote Amerine, who was awarded a Bronze Star with V device and a Purple Heart for his service during the mission. “Men were ready to drive to get us or send horses from the other side of the country if that was what it took.”

 

At the time, Mattis was reluctant to send aircraft without knowing the situation on the ground, according to an account in The Only Thing Worth Dying For.

 

“Well, if they’ve taken fire and you can’t tell me definitively how they got all scuffed up, I’m not going to send anything until you can assure me that the situation on the ground is secure,” Mattis is quoted as saying.

Like when POTUS was saying we were going to pull out of the Iran deal, Mattis goes to ISRAEL to assure them we won't
