"Benedict Arnold was a war hero, wounded in battle -- before he turned against his country. Hitler was likewise a decorated and wounded veteran of the First World War. Being a war hero is not a lifetime "get out of jail free" card, exempting you from responsibility for what you do thereafter."
-Thomas Sowell

We might add that Duke Cunningham is a real war hero as well. His exempolary service to our country didn't keep him out of prison on corruption charges. But of course, he's a Republican.
