Conspiracy theorist?
[edit]What conspiracy theories has Butler promoted? I could be mistaken but I don't see any mention of this in the article, however Butler is included in the category American conspiracy theorists. I am removing CT category for now. Yodabyte (talk) 01:36, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
- That is probably a reference to the Business Plot which is described in the article.Historian932 (talk) 17:30, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
Still most decorated Marine in history?
[edit]The article says he was at the time of his death, does anyone know if this is still the case? Historian932 (talk) 17:31, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- Actually it looks like he was surpassed by Chesty Puller.Historian932 (talk) 17:32, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
