Jim
Mattis, a former Marine Corps general who has headed
the Defense
Department since President Donald Trump took office,
announced he is
resigning at the end of February.
There
have been several recent reports that he fell out of the
president's
favor due to disagreements on military issues.
In his resignation
letter, Mattis implicitly criticized Trump
for not treating allies with
respect and for not being "clear-eyed"
about U.S. enemies and
competitors.
