Mattis Says a Marine Hacked His Email to Impress a Woman

Jim Mattis, the former Defense Secretary for the Trump administration, said that his email was hacked by a young marine trying to impress a girl, and his “punishment” was a surprising life lesson.

Mattis was speaking to the Tri-City Regional Chamber of Commerce in southeast Washington state about leadership when he told the story.

“It’s like all organizations in the world, the leadership of the Marine Corps gets the behavior they reward,” he explained. . .

“He got punished by being assigned to my personal staff,” Mattis concluded, “so I could keep an eye on the lad.”
