Like Fort Ike, but still holding out for Fort Audey Murphy
How isn't there a fort named after him!? Isn't he one of the MOST decorated GIs in history?
Not one of the most, THE most.
Two-time Medal of Honor awardee, General Smedley Butler is a very strong contender.
He may not have as many, but not all awards are valued the same.
Butler has all but been erased from history. He fucked with the money, you see. For those of you who don't know, Butler snitched almost 100 years ago about a corporate plot to overthrow the US government. Sound familiar?
Because he has a dark history of spousal abuse, drug abuse, and mental illness. Likely caused by the events that earned him two Medal of Honors
Not likely caused by, most certainly caused by.
