During his 34 years of Marine Corps service, Butler was awarded numerous medals for heroism including the Marine Corps Brevet Medal (the highest Marine medal at its time for officers), and subsequently the Medal of Honor twice. Notably, he is one of only 19 people to be twice awarded the Medal of Honor, and one of only three to be awarded a Marine Corps Brevet Medal and a Medal of Honor, and the only person to be awarded a Marine Corps Brevet Medal and a Medal of Honor for two different actions. In addition to his military career, Smedley Butler was noted for his outspoken anti-interventionist views, and his book War is a Racket. His book was one of the first works describing the workings of the military-industrial complex and after retiring from service, he became a popular speaker at meetings organized by veterans, pacifists and church groups in the 1930s. In 1934, he informed the United States Congress that a group of wealthy industrialists had plotted a military coup known as the Business Plot to overthrow the government.

Superb Computer Generated Audio Pamphlet - THIS IS SO WORTH READING OR LISTENING TO AS IT"S so truthful - Only HUGE Missing item is the MASSIVE COST OF OIL ( See real Oil History in the Seven Sisters Video's in You Tube) Thanks Dragon. (Note the Computer Generated Prog is absolutely superb ) You can see that it is just RESOURCE looting around the world these days although this was written in 1935
