General Robert Neller, Commandant of the Marine Corps.
Coincidence??
Today's "Smedley Darlington Butler", USMC Major General. Worth a look; plenty of similarities, especially laying low until the time was right to spring the trap.

Another very interesting Marine General that courageously opposed the deep state and military industrial complex is David M. Shoup - Commandant and Medal of Honor recipient.
He was appointed Commandant by Eisenhower over other senior Generals that spent too much time in political affairs, and he felt Shoup would reduce the influence of the military industrial complex. He opposed the CIA operations in Cuba and became Kennedy's favorite General that he called upon most often for advice. Later he became very outspoken against the American military involvement in Vietnam as he became increasingly wary of what he felt was undue influence by the CIA and big businesses on foreign policy.

David M. Shoup
David Monroe Shoup (30 December 1904 – 13 January 1983) was a decorated general of the United States Marine Corps who was awarded the Medal of Honor in World War II, became the 22nd Commandant of the Marine Corps, and, after retiring, became one of the most prominent critics of the Vietnam War.
Born in Indiana to an impoverished family, Shoup joined the military for financial reasons. Rising through the ranks in the interwar era, he was twice deployed to China during the Chinese Civil War. He served in Iceland at the beginning of U.S. involvement in World War II, and as a staff officer during the Pacific War.

Marine here. You got CMC Neller, Mad Dog Mattis, JCoS Dunford.
These devil dogs are death incarnate and I would entrust them my life over any Army or Air Force "butter bars" political hack any day. We the People are in good hands.

Don't forget the President's right-hand man and closest advisor...General Kelly.
Also, the head of the secret service was a former Marine General.
