Secretary of Defense James Mattis has a reputation of being a military man’s military man. During his service, Mattis was known for his strict adherence to the rules and chain of command. His devotion to the military code of conduct and way of life has served him well in earning the respect of the men serving under him.
Mattis continues to show his devotion to his creed, visiting the troops often, speaking bluntly and even doing his own laundry at the Pentagon.
On Friday, Mattis was scheduled to speak to the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies.
According to his press secretary, Mattis was caught in unforeseen travel difficulties on the way to a speech, which promised to make him late.
