major general smedley butler
who was the most decorated marine eve when he died
in the 1930s he said this in his book "war is a racket"
"i spent 33 years and 4 months in active military service and during that period i spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for big business for wall street and the bankers. in short , i was a racketeer , a gangster for capitalism."
he called out the military-industrial complex before it had a name
i don't think you would have called smedley butler
"a marxist, long haired, peace- love-dope psedudo-intellectual hippy" to his face
read about him, read his book, tell others
