Because of this quote of his, you mean?

"You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil," General Mattis continued.

"You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them."

He was counselled to choose his words more carefully.

The important words are those that just slip out without thought.

What a choice for a "diplomat".
