He was overruled.

Trump just following Obama's lead.
I assume you didn't care then, though
So, was Mattis against bombing Syria?

That doesn't even touch the police bill of rights that exist in many states like Louisiana. Some highlights. Cops can not be questioned for unreasonable amounts of time and must be given frequent breaks. They must be informed of the nature of the investigation as well as be given the statements and names of witnesses before being questioned. Questioning must take place while on duty ie they get paid while being questioned. They can only be questioned by 1 investigator. They can not be threatened, harassed, or promised rewards to induce the answering if questions. That sounds basic but they know the playbook for interogations and they don't want their own tactics used on them. Also in Louisiana cops can't be questioned by 60 days. Thus is the system they built to protect themselves taking advantage if the public's good faith in police. Thus is what comes from rubber stamping "pro police" legislation.

Almost forgot, in Louisiana cops can arrest you for saying you will file a complaint against them and its a felony that is considered more serious than battery on a police officer so you could get a higher bail for saying you will file a complaint against an officer than for punching him in the face. If you dont think this is deliberately so they can legally intimidate witnesses you are mistaken.

Oh, look, over there, Sean Hannity!
Like a moth to light ...
To be fair, it's not like they'd cop to dissension in an official statement, and it's not like she's the definition of credibility, besides.
Yet, somehow, unnamed sources carry more credibility?
Alternatively, somebody could just ask Mattis.
Then we could accuse him of lying because ... narrative.
Seems a little naive for someone who obviously knows better. The volume of stories are probably a reasonable indicator that Mattis was a voice for moderation, to an undetermined degree, and probably for reasons that you'd personally ageee with.
But as an academic exercise, I'll probably take multiple unnamed sources from a reputable news organization over Sarah Sanders (or whoever) in the briefing room.
I think that speaks to your own biases more than it does to any supportive reasoning.
There's a pretty sizeable gap between "voice for moderation" and "advised against bombing Syria".
Well, there are plenty of things that bubble up from unnamed sources that are unverifiable (the familiar "Trump rages at the TV" story, for example) but I do imagibe there are plenty of things which are verifiable, as well. And I'd put that track record of veracity there against Sarah Sanders any day.
