In 1936 One Marine stood his ground and prevented a coup d’etat from occuring and now once again a single Marine stand between the death of our country as we know it and a Socialist America,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What was this incident? Do you have any links. I would be very interested in learning more about this Marine.

Actually I was wrong on the year, it was 1933 but the facts are still the same.

The Marine was The Commandant of The Marine Corps General Smedley Darlington Butler, twice the recipient of the Medal of Honor.

Anti war types always like to quote his book "War is a Racket" with acknowledging his warnings against fascism, coomunism, and socialism.
