Back on June 22, 1952, Reed was heading for an artillery observation post near Panmunjom when a Chinese artillery shell blew his Jeep over, causing a deep gash in his cheek. Reed went to a nearby aid station and got about 10 stitches in his wound. He still has the scar beneath his left eye. "All I knew was that the Chinese were attacking, and they needed me at that observation post," he said.

I don't understand why you think he is cheating?
