Military vs. Presidents: Lessons from U.S. History

 

In today’s episode of “Lest We Forget Historical,” host Lillian Cauldwell explores the intricate dynamics between past presidents and military personnel, highlighting how executive power impacts civilian perspectives on military involvement. Military figures have faced significant challenges throughout American history when their visions clashed with executive decisions. For instance, Billy Mitchell’s revolutionary ideas were largely dismissed. The Bonus Marches in Washington D.C. saw WWI veterans demanding overdue pay and benefits, only to be met with troops, gas bombs, and the destruction of their possessions. Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler, the most decorated Marine in U.S. history, came to see the military as a profit-driven enterprise rather than a national defender. Tune in to the podcast to discover more about these historical events, their implications, and the ongoing unaddressed issues.
