Think about the lost World War II years for real heroes like Ted Williams, Hank Greenberg, Clark Gable, Jimmy Stewart, etc. They answered the call. Not like this egotistical bigmouth. Another thing, he wasn't the greatest, just the loudest.

You will find a lot of people who wore the green uniform who aren't too enthralled by the man who refused induction into the military.
