“What We Can and Can’t Afford: Essays on Vietnam, Patriotism and American Life” 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.   Supplemental pictures and videos: https://ComingFromLeftField.com/sb Books: War Is A Racket by Smedley D. Butler   Gangsters of Capitalism: Smedley Butler, the Marines, and the Making and Breaking of America's Empire by Jonathan M.

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

Dr. Bill Ehrhart joins us to talk about General Smedley Butler and his efforts to call out capitalism, war, and the military. Bill also quickly outlines the rise of the imperialist US. Bill reflects on General Butler's service, the coup planned by the republican party to overthrow FDR that he thwarted, and his late-life activism. We need to remember Smedley's commitment to the Bill of Rights and the people of the US which are severely lacking today.
