I'm actually surprised Mattis stayed in as long as he had. He was one of the moderate folks in the administration.

President Donald Trump said Defense Secretary Jim Mattis is retiring “with distinction” at the end of February 2018, according to a tweet on Thursday.
“During Jim’s tenure, tremendous progress has been made, especially with respect to the purchase of new fighting equipment,” Trump said. “General Mattis was a great help to me in getting allies and other countries to pay their share of military obligations. A new Secretary of Defense will be named shortly. I greatly thank Jim for his service.”
