He went a bit kooky in his old age. Shame given what he accomplished when younger. A great name in context. But the context is limited.Diogenes wrote:kcdodd wrote:Are you familiar with Smedley Butler?
No I'm not. Thanks for putting me onto that bit of history.
I think I have brought this book up before (The Savage Wars of Peace), but it has a nice bit on ole' Smedley covering his heydays. Not his kook days. He helped write the book on counter-insurgency techniques. But he got kooky in the end. Had some bones to pick over some long term grudges I think.
