Perhaps we can assist by suggesting an angle.
I think I've got it.
How about Dan Rather...Marine turned Newsman?
.
This is something that has always annoyed me endlessly about Danny the liar. He never finished Boot Camp. In fact he was there less than 3 weeks. If you don't complete Boot Camp you are not a Marine.
Like so much in his life Danny LIED about being a Marine. Quite cleverly too. He talks baout his time in Boot Camp but never admits that he couldn't take it and ran home to his mommy.
