Re: source of quote?



The book is WAR IS A RACKET. FWIW, it's at the University of San
Francisco library (among other places).

It (or a similar statement) is also included in a book he published. The
book is hard to get hold of. When I wanted it some 20 years ago I had to
do through inter-library loan, and the only library in the state of
Illinois that had it was at Northern Michigan University in DeKalb. Not
even the U of I in C/U had it, and it is one of the three or four
largest in the u.s. I can't remember its exact title now. Google him and
you get a large number of hits. Including several that refer you to the
USMC web site for more material. He was the only person ever to win the
Congressional Medal twice. He is still raved about to recruits in marine
basic training, though they don't mention this part of his story.
