The commanding general of the troops sent to Little Rock was Maj. Gen. Edwin Walker. Walker raised the ire of the Kennedy brothers a couple of years latter and left the Army. (Resigned. Did not retire IIRC.)
Walker at the time commanded the 24th Infantry Div in Germany and wanted his troops to know the evils of communism -- coincidentally, the enemy the Army was trained to fight. JKF and RFK did not like it that Walker was using rightwing literature. IIRC Walker was W.W.II special forces-type combat hero.
Walker aligned with rightwing politics including the John Birch Society. JFK's Attorney General, RFK, had Walker arrested and held for mental examination. Even the ACLU joined in the outrage and Walker was release within days.
All of the above is from memory w/o verifying and I mention this because the other night John Batchelor and a guest maligned Gen. Walker claiming many things about Walker the most egregious was that Walker stirred racial violence at the U. of Mississippi.
IIRC walker sued the wire service AP for reporting the lie and he won and kept winning as AP appealed all the way to SCOTUS who agreed that AP simply erred and did not owe Walker anything.
I emailed Batchelor with reference to documents explaining it all -- as best as I understood the documents -- that verified the aforementioned account. No response. Of course.
One more thing.. Lee Harvey Oswald attempted to kill Walker by firing shot(s) at Walker from outside Walker's home through a window. But missed. IIRC Oswald used the same rifle that he used to precisely hit JFK.
“A 12 gauge barrel is the size of 1/12 of a ball of lead.”
I think maybe you mean “...the size of 1/12 of a balled POUND of lead..?
You got that right!

“The Sebelious force-out today is designed to shift eyes away from the Watergate moment in the Learner/IRS scandal that is blowing up at the moment.
Just watch: There will be days and days of HHS bullshit and the legitimate IRS scandal, complete with hard evidence of felonies, falls away.”
