Now and then I've used the phrase "a soldier's soldier" to indicate a superior military person of whom men in uniform would follow into battle without question, such as General Patton. However, this phrase falls short in describing Sgt. Daly: he was well above that level. Great episode within in a great concept ("Marking History"). Love all of these shorts because I learn much.
It blows my mind to think what kind of man almost pulls down a third Medal of Honor. And Butler had a Marine Brevet Medal, which would have been a Medal of Honor had they been awarding them to officers at that point. So the two guys who had two Medals of Honor should have both had three each. That is just nuts. (You should do a story about George Oldroyd, who's the most-decorated Scout lifesaver in history. He's the only one in B.S.A. history to receive the Honor Medal twice since it was constituted in 1923, and the only one to receive the top valor award from Scouts in two different countries. He received one of his Honor Medals with Crossed Palms from the B.S.A. National Court of Honor, and the Bronze Cross for Gallantry from the B-P Pathfinder Movement in the U.K. He was going to go to West Point until he broke his neck in a car wreck, so you can just imagine the kind of soldier he might have become.)
Lt General Lewis B "Chesty" Puller should have at least one of his silver stars upgraded to the Medal of Honor! And, the 2 secondary awards that Sgt. Major of the Marine Corps should be awarded his 3rd CMH, as it should have been awarded by 6 star general John J Pershing when he was nominated for it! It really pisses me off that some army paper pusher had the balls to deny a Marine ANYTHING!
I think he regretted fighting to defend US corporate interests. He was not fighting for his country but for the United Fruit Corporation etc. See the Book, "War is a Racket" bu Smedley Butler. the movie "Amsterdam" is loosely based on him. He hated what he did.
@@billspeer1213 Just speculation that a rational human being would love putting his life on the line to defend corporate interest for nothing in return except for a medal. Butler had the courage to put it into writing. Some who were in Haiti refused to talk about what they did there in suppressing democracy there. the Marines were a huge part of it even during WWII. Shame on the USA. A totally racist and morally corrupt policy that was employed in Haiti. No where did Daly fight except in WWI did he defend America.
Not! He won his medals, for Invading other sovereign nations. For Massacring its population and for Stealing Territories and Resources from defenseless nations. Pay a little attention and take a good look at who the US Army faced and the destruction it caused, to STEAL Resources and Territories around the world. We have "Grown" 711 the size of our territory from the original 13 colonies. Our Economic, Political and Military development was established thanks to the Piracy, the Slavery, to the Looting, the Massacres, the Opium Trade or Cocaine Traffic, the indiscriminate sale of weapons on a global scale, and, the Weakness of many abused sovereign nations. We have provoked with total impunity, 12 Genocides and 9 Massacres in Asia, the Middle East, Africa and America. Jeezzz!!!
What a hero Mr. "Devil Dog" Sergeant Major Dan Daly was. (America's Fightin'est US Marine). He invaded China, and faced 100,000 patriots who defended their nation with swords and spears, against cannons and machine guns. In three months caused a brutal Massacre of Boxers. My Hero... Huuua! Duty, Honor and Country? Well… Now, please check out these FACTS that are on the Web: "In 250 years of existence as a nation, the US has fought against 29 sovereign countries. (In Fact, since 1785, we have been involved, for 231 years, in some kind of war. And this wars, against all varieties of nations. From going against the Sultan of Morocco, to invading the tiny island of Grenada, 1983. Well, this means that in our entire history, we have only had 17 years of peace, and even fewer, cuz here the almost 5 years of our Civil War (Union/Confed 1861‒1865), are Not counted, since this war was not with another country, but against us. And the wars against the Native Nations of America either are not counted, for the same reason). Anyway: We fought against 29 countries.

This video should be shown to every Marine recruit at Parris Island or San Diego! It is truly inspirational!
Thanks for your kind words.
@@MarkingHistoryChannel Really? Except for WWI they were corporate pawns. Where in China or Haiti or Central America was the USA threatened?

RIP, Oorah and Semper Fi.
Looks like you support suppressing democracy and self-determination for US corporate interests.
Another good vid, Bruce! Quite a character Dan Daly was 😊. And I learned more about the Boxer Rebellion.
Sergeant Major Daniel Daly, thank you for your service & sacrifice. From one veteran to another, Thanks Bro.
Increadible
Semper Fi
LOL, being Irish myself, I can say that he also exemplified Irishness by both bravery and getting busted back to private. ;-)
This is the only way to use the word hero . Not just any service person .
Teuful Hunden Dan Daily!
ACTUALLY THE TRANSLATION TO ENGLISH WAS COVERED IN THE STORY!
Teufel (Toy-fel) = Devil; Hund = Dog (Hound) and Hunden be Dogs
Smendley what a name.
Even better his middle name was Darlington. Smedley Darlington Butler.
Great videos but when can we expect a new one to be posted?
Working on a short documentary on Jimmy Stewart B-24 WW2 bomber pilot. It will be a fascinating story. Thanks for your interest. 👍
Coming soon.
It blows my mind to think what kind of man almost pulls down a third Medal of Honor. And Butler had a Marine Brevet Medal, which would have been a Medal of Honor had they been awarding them to officers at that point.
