So smedley - who became tough by being named 'smedley' - was the most decorated marine (probably soldier) in the us armed forces. he wrote a tell all book about how the world worked when he was in the thick of it, and its still true today.... btw this picture was taken in china in 1901, i think. different sides, then...
