Shakin Shaner explores the life and legacy of Major General Smedley Butler, AKA, Old Gimlet Eye, who received two Congressional Medals of Honor. He dives into his life after the Marine Corps and touch on his participation in the March of the Bonus Army, the Business Plot and his book, "War is a Racket". This is truly a great story about honorable service, giving back and standing up for veterans, derailing a plot against the American Government and being true to oneself. A great way to celebrate Veterans Day.
