It was briefly alluded to. I thought it was an excellent program. The
usual namby pamby disclaimer normally accompanying controversial
issues
on the History Channel was quite weak.
Butler was against US involvement in foreign wars. He was against war
profiteering by American capitalists. He was against wasting the lives
of America's young military men for the sake of Wall Street. His
isolationism WAS NOT the same as that of Lindbergh and other Fascists
and pro Nazis who wanted to insure Nazi ascendancy by keeping America
neutral.
They all wanted to keep America isolated but not for the same reasons.
He was the greatest.
