Well, the smart people at free republic, got us and got us good. But wasn't it a great story? Lee Marvin is still a hollywood-hero as we found a more accurate accounting of his war service on a different site. Sorry, we fell for an old rumor, but looking for heroes these days is tough. We've posted the corrections on our site. It appears Mr. Marvin was wounded at Saipan. Go to the site for the whole poop. As to Bob Keeshan, it appears he says he enlisted too late for Iwo Jima. As an aside, there were many soldiers who fought in World War II, who were younger than their stated age, my father was one of them. He enlisted when he was 15 and by the time of the pacific theater, he was a captain in the Army Air Corp and flew 25 missions over Japan, at 24! So, who knows?

Not at all. Turn on the freaking Fox News any time of the day to see all you want.
