Understanding economic history is important. I am a dyed in the wool combat marine despite being a civilian and now designing refineries and natural gas plants.
After the civil war the marines went under the control of the president. No president ever needed congressional approval to deploy marines. That’s why the are called “The Presidents Own”
In the early 1900s General Smedley Butler and the marines were deployed around the world and especially the “Bannana Wars”.
Butler found out and blew the whistle on all these small wars. He was pissed because his marines were being killed to subdue Central American countries so banks and companies could take charge and take over the labor and production of these small countries. Total exploitation. These were all driven by banking. This is not conspiracy theory stuff. It is a matter of complete congressional record. The documents are available to US citizens.
