General Smedley Butler

I went to dinner last night with a few people.  It was Veteran's Day so the conversation turned to the issue of war at one point.   

I asked if anyone knew who General Smedley Butler was.  Nobody.  I explained, they listened. 

Then silence. 

They didn't know what to do with that information. 

What, ALL war is a Racket? 

What?

But what about ISIS they ask?

They're not REALLY listening, 

Maybe it's like algebra, some people get it, some don't. 

Shit.
