I’m not saying he wasn’t an entertainer. I’m saying that if he took off his shirt and turned around one might well see a large yellow stripe.

You see, I just think the man was the epitome of hypocrisy: he played tough, brave men but it was a lie.

Not good enough for me.

You’ve made your point and everyone is entitled to his opinion.

As a young man, he applied for admission to Annapolis. When the U.S. enetered the war, he was 34 with 4 children.

Where do you get "the man was the epitome of hypocrisy: he played tough, brave men but it was a lie?"

When did he ever lie or mis-represent his military service, a la Gore or Kerry?

You do realize the difference between movies and reality, or do I assume too much?

Good grief, you’ve been carrying around this hatred for a man who’s been dead for 34 years? That’s crazy.
