hailed as "The most revered Marine of his generation" upon his retirement in 2013. To say that he's probably seen some things is an understatement.

He's previously said, “I don’t lose any sleep at night over the potential for failure. I cannot even spell the word.”

What does he lose sleep over? Dickerson asked him what keeps him awake at night:

His answer? "Nothing. I keep other people awake at night."

Exactly the attitude ISIS, North Korea, and anyone else who seeks to harm the United States needs to see from our military.

Given that a well-known Mattism (the name reporters have given his phrases) is "Be polite, be professional, and have a plan to kill everyone you meet," this answer shouldn't be surprising at all.

I can agree with all of that - - in the words of a Great American,"Walk tall and carry a big stick". And, furthermore know when,where and how to use it.

Isn't it walk softly and carry a big stick?

Isn't it walk softly and carry a big stick?

I thought it was "speak softly and carry a big stick"

Isn't it walk softly and carry a big stick?

Yes it is, but evidently you got the meaning -- My bad on the
use of the word "tall" for "softly". Excuse me Mr. Buford Pusser.
