Teddy Roosevelt leaking a letter to the AP to gin up public outrage & save his Rough Riders in Cuba from dying of Yellow Fever because of DC's dithering cost him the Medal of Honor. The secretary of war blocked it. But TR received it posthumously in 2001. https://t.co/0ds80GxgpN — PolitiTweet.org

The irony of ironies: Teddy Roosevelt wrote a letter in 1898 to his commanding officer -- and then leaked it to the Associated Press -- to save his Rough Riders from Yellow Fever in Cuba. The War Dept was incensed, but it probably saved lives of his men. https://t.co/0ds80GORhl — PolitiTweet.org

Tweed Roosevelt, a great-grandson of Theodore Roosevelt, recalled how the secretary of war retaliated against TR for going to the press with concerns re the govt response to Yellow Fever: “Who today remembers Russell Alger?” A century from now, who will remember Thomas Modly? — PolitiTweet.org
