2 September 15, 2013 THE MILITARY PRESS www.MilitaryPress.com • [email protected] The best quotes from ‘Mad Dog’ Mattis An account by John R. Guardiano, a former Marine who not only met but con- versed in depth with Mattis, sums up the general’s character best. Both the left and the right are wrong about Marine Corps Lt. Gen. James N. Mattis. He is neither the Jack Nicholson caricature of a Marine depicted in the 1992 movie A Few Good Men nor the callous and mad eccentric depicted by George C. Scott in the 1970 movie Patton. And Gen. Mattis didn’t just talk the talk; he walked the walk. He led from the front. Indeed, on at least one occasion that I know of, the General was bloodied from a firefight or improvised explosive device while out on patrol with junior, enlisted Marines one-third his age. That’s what makes Gen. Mattis such a great warrior: He truly re- spects and cares for his Marines. “Guardiano,” he told me, “I don’t give a damn about the officers. If they don’t like what they’re doing, they can get on a plane and leave the Corps — go back where they came from. But I do care deeply about those 18- and 19-year-old Lance Corporals out on the frontlines.” — From The American Spectator

(This letter was emailed to the Military Press with the following note: “Please consider the article on torture below for publication. It’s by University of Richmond Law School Professor and prominent human rights activist Azizah Y. al-Hibri. In her piece, Azizah offers an expert firsthand perspective on how American Muslims perceive America’s recent history of torture. She goes on to argue that America cannot regain the respect of the Muslim world until it acknowledges its torturous past -- and closes the most notorious symbol of that past, the prison at Guantanamo Bay. Azizah immigrated to the United States from the Middle East -- so she brings unique insight to this issue.”

In recent years, fracking has been a source we have the awesome responsibility of considerable controversy; here are some of the pros and cons of fracking MILITARY-FRIENDLY! of protecting our country. Many of us and how it is affecting the energy industry. EDUCATION What is fracking? Energy providers in Texas and elsewhere have been proponents of natural gas for decades. Natural gas is abundant in the United States, but exploiting it has always been difficult. Thanks to fracking technology, it is now possible to drill both vertically and horizontally to tap into natural gas reserves that were previously inaccessible. Fracking has revolutionized energy production in the United States and elsewhere in the world, and most experts view natural gas as perhaps the most important fuel for the future.

What are its advantages? Thanks to fracking, generating electricity with natural gas is now ap- proximately the same cost of generating electricity with coal. Because of this, the United States now has a much more diverse energy portfolio. In addition, natural gas releases two to three times less carbon into the atmo- sphere than coal, and it releases far less particulate matter as well. While green energy advocates prefer technology that releases little to no carbon dioxide, the improvements provided by natural gas can slow the progres- sion of global warming and allow the United States to meet energy goals. Natural gas plants are also relatively cheap to build, and they can be scaled At Azusa Pacific, we’re committed to serving military members, easily to meet energy demands. Because of this, natural gas is expected to veterans, and their families. be the baseline energy source of choice for the foreseeable future. If you’re seeking a top-ranked local university that goes the extra mile for our nation’s military heroes, look no further. Azusa Pacific University has been named a Military Friendly School by G.I. Jobs magazine, placing it among What are its disadvantages? the top 15 percent of schools in the country helping military students reach their educational dreams.
