As I recall, Yeager relays a story of Glen being a bit of a putz, landing his plane in soft sand and causing a huge headache in retrieval despite being warned repeatedly. If I remember right that is.

He’s no John Glen (sic)

I'm sure Chuck would appreciate the compliment. He never suckled up to the Kennedy clan nor betrayed his country by covering for the Clinton's misdeeds as a US Senator. Brave man, no doubt, but he threw away any respect he gained as an astronaut during his long and sordid political career.
