We know about General John Kelly's military experience and his record there and being a decorated veteran of combat over in Iraq in particular. In fact, that's where I first met him was when Ramadi was shot to shambles during the surge era.

That's my first impression of John Kelly.

They know what they're doing. It's not against their will.
