General Butler gets my vote. Not for his Medals of Honor. Those were subject to far different criteria back then. He gets my vote because he told the truth about how big money attempted to overthrow the United States Government. Read his book "War is a Racket." Priceless.

Chesty Puller, the greatest general of all times!

[@patrickkelley6212]

They're all great generals! All have contributed to the Marine Corps in great ways!😀

[@mattmonasmith6054]

I’d say Gen. O.P. Smith. If it wasn’t for his instincts and leadership at the chosin reservoir, the first marine division would of been wiped out. He simply wouldn’t be bullied by Generals MacArthur or Almond into making bad decisions that would have left his Marines vulnerable to a Chinese attack which he knew was coming. My opinion, I’m sure there’s more learned opinions out there, but he should be on the list also.

Thanks for watching our channel.

Chesty will win in a popular poll just because he is more well known and his legend is something a recruit even knows about. It’s a tough one for me to choose between Lejeune and Butler.

[@markbrumback1442]

Chesty!

[@danieldevite668]

Chesty

[@user-ps5dc5gh6b]

Gen Lejune is the best hands down due to his far-reaching contributions to the Corps.

[@usmc-veteran73-77]

I was stationed at Camp LeJeune two times Jan-Jul74 and Sep75-Oct77. Semper Fi

[@marshallgiles6255]

Great show and Great Marines Semper Fi and Oorah!!!

[@patrickhueber3798]

General Lejeune did far more for the Marines with his leadership in leading the Corp into the modern war fighting unit it is today than winning medals.

[@supercat4539]

Smedley or Chesty

[@user-yi3so1xk2h]

Chesty Puller,the general my Dad served under while he was in the United States Marine corps 1941 -1945.❤❤❤

[@stevenalex6969]

General Lejune hands down

[@budgetbooger9415]

Chesty of course....no other. Fouled mouth but a fighter.

[@jameskawaikaupejrcwo3usmcr573]

All three Generals were outstanding leaders in their own respective era. General Lewis B. Puller should have been awarded the Medal of Honof. Although General Smedley D. Butler received two Medal of Honor in two different combat events, but he had a fallen out of the Marine Corps due to his outspoken criticism of the military industrial complex. Major General John A LejeuneI brought the Marine Corps together after WW 1 and standardized our Marine Corps Birthday. I didn’t service during their era but if I had to choose one during my era from 1972-1994 it probably be General Alfred M. Gray and General James Mattis. Both of whom I have served with during my time in our Marine Corps. Semper Fidelis Marines

[@joshwoodburn3828]

No doubt it General Lejune is the greatest Marine General of all time, if it wasn't for him fighting for the Marine Corps to exist they would never exist, Semper Fi.

Marine Generals are badasses. I was in the army and it's sickening how General "woke" Milley destroyed the army with his CRT and white guilt programs.
