“It’s fun to shoot some people,” said the Marine Corps Lt. Gen. James Mattis while speaking at a forum in San Diego. His comments though appeared funny to some at the forum, have led to annoyance of many including his higher officials.
Mattis was trying to portray the grim picture of war. The whole process of combating somehow appeared amusing to him when he said at a panel discussion hosted by the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association that, “Actually, it’s a lot of fun to fight. You know, it’s a hell of a hoot. … It’s fun to shoot some people. I’ll be right upfront with you, I like brawling.”
