"American hero'"? Whelan was demoted to private and received a bad conduct discharge from the Marines for larceny. Lucky he faced military justice versus US criminal justice or he'd be in jail.

Doubt many Marines would refer to him as a "Marine". I'm sure with a bad conduct discharge he's barely hirable anywhere.

Call him what you want, but calling this clown a hero is absurd.
