I have a book by Smedley Butler called "War is a Racket". It is a
short book, but very well written. He pulls no punches. Basically he
says that the wars that he had served in were scams to enrich the major
industrial corporations. He sighted the profits of many companies and
contrasted that to the pay of the average soldier who actually fought
the wars. It is a very hard hitting little books. It may still be
available. Perhaps from the John Birchers.
Butler was also a strong opponent along with Lindbergh with whom, I
believe, he often spoke at rallies opposing the entry of America into
WW2. That is probably why you don't hear a lot about him. Was this
mentioned on the program you mention above?
