Smedley D. Butler “War Is A Racket” with Bill Ehrhart

Our “friend of the show,” Bill Ehrhart returns to our podcast to discuss General Smedley D. Butler, one of the most colorful officers in the Marine Corps' long history; he was one of the two Marines who received two Medals of Honor for separate acts of outstanding heroism.

Butler and Ehrhart are both cut from the same cloth, Marines, opinionated, and on the correct side of politics.
