Mattis to U.S. Troops in Jordan: ‘The Only Reason I Came Back Is to Serve Alongside Young People Like You’

EXCERPT:

MATTIS: "I'm just grateful. The only way this great big experiment you and I call America is going to survive is if we've got tough hombres like you. Remember, some of you are too young, but on 9/11 we racked up against an enemy who thought that if he could hurt us he could scare us. But we don't freakin' scare. That's the bottom line."
