If Only More Of Today's Military Personnel

I Helped In The Raping Of Half A Dozen Central American Republics For The Benefit Of Wall Street. The Record Of Racketeering Is Long... Looking Back On It, I Feel I Might Have Given Al Capone A Few Hints. The Best He Could Do Was To Operate His Racket In Three City Districts. We Marines Operated On Three Continents.

My Interest Is, My One Hobby Is, Maintaining A Democracy. If You Get These 500,000 Soldiers Advocating Anything Smelling Of Fascism, I Am Going To Get 500,000 More And Lick The Hell Out Of You, And We Will Have A Real War Right At Home.

War Is Just A Racket... I Believe In Adequate Defense At The Coastline And Nothing Else.

No One Told These American Soldiers They Might Be Shot Down By Bullets Made By Their Own Brothers Here. No One Told Them That The Ships On Which They Were Going To Cross Might Be Torpedoed By Submarines Built With Us Patents.

I Served In All Commissioned Ranks From Second Lieutenant To Major-general. And During That Period, I Spent Most Of My Time Being A High Class Muscle-man For Big Business, For Wall Street And For The Bankers. In Short, I Was A Racketeer, A Gangster For Capitalism.
