Dennehy enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 1958 and served on Okinawa[22] until 1963. In numerous interviews, Dennehy claimed to be a Vietnam veteran who served a five-year tour there and recounted harrowing tales of combat,[23] but according to the book Stolen Valor, Dennehy never served in Vietnam and never saw active combat.[23] The author of Stolen Valor wrote to Dennehy regarding the discrepancy, but received no reply from the actor, although Dennehy later admitted in an interview that he had lied about his service and apologized for it.[23]

Yep. Although he was in the Marines, he never served in Vietnam as he claimed but spent his time in Okinawa playing football.

Liked him as an actor. STOLEN VALOR is simply unforgiveable to me. It so cheapens what REAL participants did.

As an actor his portrayal of the Homosexual, DEMOCRAT Pedophile, Serial Killer John Wayne Gacy was disturbing beyond belief.

John Wayne Gacy - DEMOCRAT killed at least 33 young men in an unspeakable manner.

Apparently Dennehy had regrets about playing the role later in life.
