I disagree with equating all war to the Honduran police action of 1912, yes. Gen. Butler was a man of supreme courage, but his judgment in this case is distorted because of his particular frame of reference.
Gen. Butler was also eager for the Philadelphia police to kill more bandits in shootouts and was disappointed when it was represented to him that the court system frowned on just gunning down suspects. He was also a fanatical supporter of the Volstead Act.
Do you agree with decorated patriot?
