Warning to young people thinking of entering military service.

Our recent bailout of Afghanistan and the way we bailed out of Vietnam should be thought of very carefully before you sign your contract.

Look into it first.

There were two Marines in Corps history that were awarded the Medal of Honor twice. One was Dan Daly and the other was Smedley Butler.

Butler, a true hero, wrote about it after he retired. He wrote a book, War is a racket. 

Big money was not happy with a 6% return. They took it overseas where they could make 100%. The flag goes where the money goes and the soldiers follow that.

Butler came to believe he was nothing more than muscle for the big corporations. I can't say he was wrong.
