I've had a TL bouncing around my head for awhile now. Smedley Butler died in 1940 at the age of 58 of a mysterious stomach ailment, possibly cancer. If doctors had somehow been able to save his life or he had not developed this illness. What might have happened had he lived past 1940? How would the continued rising tide of fascism, the wars in Europe and China have affected his antiwar beliefs? What lingering impact would the unraveling of the Business Plot have? What might have been his reaction to the attack on Pearl Harbor and America's entry into WW2?
