He has quoted Maj. Gen Smedly Butler . For what evil purpose, I don't know. Given Urwut's dislike of America, I'm guessing this post will degenerate into an anti-America fest.

I believe (and I could be wrong) but, this is a series of clues and YOU are supposed to guess who the individual is.
At first, I was going to guess Teddy Roosevelt but......I don't think it fits.
At any rate.....good post. Gotta love a mystery.

Smedly did say that and for the most part I agree with him. Gen Eisenhower took on the builders of war machines:
They were both Patriots to the bone. IMHO

Hmm... let's see now. He spends over 33 years in a brilliant military career and then decides he was just a racketeer for profiteering business interests?
And he never resigned his commission in all that 33 years, despite having suspected at the time that he was part of a racket? Hmmm....

Or perhaps he was p*ssed at being passed over for Commandant of the Marine Corps, despite being the senior major general at the time.

I think it is mostly true for colonial wars, but I think it is mostly untrue for the major wars of the 20th century. The latter were not fought merely for business interests.

Every soldier and every cop to this day offers the same defense: "I was just doing my job."
The job is defined by the constitution:
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
Every one of them is a traitor.
