Mattis hits Trump: I won my medals in battle, you with a doctor's letter.

His comments came a day after the American president named him the world's most overrated <x0).

I'm not just an overrated general, but I'm the most overrated general in the world. It's an honor for me to be viewed like this by Donald Trump because he's also called actress Meryl Strep overrated, so I can say I'm Merri Strip of the generals and actually that sounds pretty good to me. But at least we have to admit that me and Marilyn have achieved a few victories. You asked me if I was worried if Donald Trump considered me this way. Of course not, because at least I have won my medals on the battlefield, while Donald Trump has received them through a letter from the doctor” Mattis said.

Trump issued charges against his former defence secretary Wednesday during a tense meeting of the White House with members of Congress. The meeting was meant to be a bilateral discussion of Trump's decision to withdraw American forces from northern Syria, but ended in a fierce debate between Trump and Congress Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Mattis had argued as secretary of defence that American troops were needed in Syria to prevent a revival of Islamic State fighters. Trump said Mattis was the world's most overrated <x0). You know why? He wasn't tough enough”. “I caught I SIS” added Trump.

Mattis resigned last December after Trump said he intended to withdraw 2,000 American troops from Syria. In his letter of resignation, the general told Trump he had “the right to have a secretary of defence whose views best match your”.

Since then, he has refused to publicly criticise the administration, saying he owes the commander general “the command of silence”. But Trump broke this pact as he did most of the people who worked for him by declaring him incapable.
