Butler is all to often misrepresented for his views on war, when push came to shove he was always one of this country's greatest warriors and actually prevented a coup d'état against our government that most Americans have never heard about. Had he not succeeded America might have been part of the Axis during WWII.

OK, you've got my attention! Can you elaborate either via FReepmail or another post? Count me as one of the Americans who know nothing of this - but I'd like to learn more.

America would have become a fascist state had Butler not stood his ground and told those that wanted to enlist him to overthrow the government that he would raise his own army of Marines and soldiers to stop them.
