LowerCaseRepublican Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 http://salon.com/opinion/feature/2004/03/1...p/index_np.html A high-ranking military officer reveals how Defense Department extremists suppressed information and twisted the truth to drive the country to war. A old but fitting quote: "Like all members of the military profession, I never had a thought of my own until I left the service. My mental faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of higher ups. This is typical with everyone in military service. 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 rackateer, a gangster for capitalism." Major General Smedley Butler USMC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
