General Smedley Butler - War is a Racket - Forgotten History
Born on July 30, 1881 Major General Smedley Butler was the eldest son of a Quaker family from West Chester, Pennsylvania. Only two Marines ever received the Medal of Honor twice, Daniel Daly and Smedley Butler both in separate conflicts. Besides being twice decorated with the Medal of Honor, how did he display even greater courage and preserve the U.S. Constitution, preventing a coup installing a military dictatorship? Find out in this episode. Hosted by Colin D. Heaton. The Forgotten History Channel is a 10th Legion Pictures Production.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
