To put a finer point on it, the reason we are talking about him is because he wrote a book about his worthy actions as a vet. And that book also included some not-so-worthy actions and some outright lies. The trouble is that apparently we're not allowed to talk about the latter because of the former. Imperfect people are more interesting and make better books, and films. Blind hero-worship should not preclude a discussion of someone's bad points. There are lots of people upthread who seem to think it should.

Regarding the film - is there really a film with scene including a fake baby in the running for best picture?[/quote]

He was well known before the book, at least by people who cared for what our military does. Top recognitions and awards.

You are just writing rude after rude comment bashing a dead vet. And it makes you feel superior?  Keep going. Make yourself feel better.[/quote]
