Smedley, the Secretary of the Navy, Is a Troll

Smedley's comments that night in Pittsburgh got him in some serious hot water. The Hoover administration is pissed. This isn't the sort of information they want out in the world. For the next few months during his speaking engagements, Smedley does his best to play nice. But then the sitting commandant of the Marine Corps died and it really seemed like it should have been Smedley's turn to be the boss.
