He got fucking dragged by Trumpworld after he resigned over Trump's stance on Afghanistan (or was it the Kurds?), it was probably one of the most severe about-faces I've ever seen from conservatives about one man. Went from a Marine's Marine, a warrior-scholar, to a complete disgrace to the Corps as far as they're concerned.
Really cemented my view of Trump as a cult of personality when I saw that narrative, and the base eating it up, in real time.
It was because we abandoned the Kurds. Mattis felt very strongly on the matter. He also went to bat for transgender service members.
