Eisenhower played it smart. Told the public as a means of self-defense. What happened to Smedley Butler?

Too much to write about here.

Short version: Big general retires. Bigwigs tried to recruit him to lead a coup, which was ready to go, with manpower and weapons.

Here in the US. And it probably would have worked. He blew the whistle.

It's been pretty hushed up since.

I'm reading about him now. He certainly had a fascinating career.
