The Business Plot Part I: Old Gimlet Eye
Manage episode 297753019 series 2952838
Major General Smedley Darlington Butler is a hero to rank-and-file soldiers and a menace to the top brass. Disgusted by his past service as a "racketeer for capitalism,” he has devoted his retirement to speaking out against the misuse of the American military to further business interests. But when he is approached by two veterans who want him to speak at the upcoming American Legion convention, he finds himself staring down a rabbit hole that goes deeper than he can imagine.
