Who really knows? Time goes on, memories fade, realities of war become diminished after decades.
Was your relative serving on the Cambodian border, where Marvin's unit was located?
I don't know a lot of specifics, except that he speaks Vietnamese and worked extensively with the Montgnards (sp?). I've known the guy since the day I was born, would trust him with my life and his opinion on this guy is good enough for me. Combining that admittedly personal view with the fact that a large group of his former comrades-in-arms joined in a lawsuit against him just tells me something is seriously wrong.
