Heroes for Today: Hugh Shelton, taking a leaf from Smedley Butler

He hasn’t written the next War is a Racket yet, but this general shows at least a pinch of Gen. Butler’s integrity in what he WASN’T willing to do to get his Gulf War II on.

(Note: He refers to the Clinton administration. One wonders if he’d have done the same under BushCo. Would’ve been nice to see him say that to Dubya, eh?)
