My uncles all fought in WWII to defeat Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito.

These heroes of The Greatest Generation could have easily fought for those three if not for Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler who at the time of his death, Butler was the most decorated Marine in U.S. history.

1n 1934, General Butler "testified under oath that wealthy businessmen were plotting to create a fascist veterans' organization with him as its leader and use it in a coup d'état to overthrow Roosevelt."

"When the committee's final report was released, the Times said the committee "purported to report that a two-month investigation had convinced it that General Butler's story of a Fascist march on Washington was alarmingly true" "
