former defense secretary and decorated marine corps general james mattis has a new book out. the title "call sign chaos -- learning to lead." mattis was president trump's first defense secretary. he served for two years before resigning over the president's decision to immediately pull all u.s. troops out of syria. well, of course, our troops are still in syria. mattis writes, i did as well as i could for as long as i could when my concrete solutions and strategic advice especially keeping faith with our allies was no longer resonated. it was time to resign. mattis led troops into battle in iraq and afghanistan. he discussed it all with david martin. >> james mattis served more than 40 years in the marines. much of it commanding troops in battle. but he almost didn't make it to boot camp. >> i fell onto the ice and was on my way coming down that ridgeline much faster than i ever anticipated. >> reporter: it was the dead of wint e1971, and he very nearly fell to his death from that ridge outside his hometown of richland, washington. >> the next thing i knew, i woke up, and the

so i think one of the most telling moments we had james mattis on yesterday, james mattis, rex tillerson, his foreign policy apparatus, they gave him the talk. mr. president -- james mattis didn't say this, but it was basically you are not getting this. let me explain the history since 1945 and explain to you why nato exists. explain to you why the world in which we live is the way it is on the international stage and how america became the supreme power over all other nations and that's when trump got angry and said i don't believe that. that's not my view of it. and it was history. that's when rex tillerson said this guy is a moron. well, that's a very clear indication of how this alternate reality that kellyanne conway talked about, this alternate reality actually does impact us. so, yes, i can laugh at the stupidity of the sharpie, the obviousness of i won't say third grader, the four-year-old, lying with a sharpie, but it does spotlight a much bigger problem. >> you're right, i mean, the initial reaction is to laugh out loud. it's laugh out loud funny it's so absurd, but the other a
