He was an absolute disgrace for military impersonation, which the media have been nice enough to omit.
"In a 1989 interview with the New York Times, Dennehy claimed to have suffered concussion and shrapnel wounds while on combat duty in Vietnam. Four years later in a short interview with Playboy magazine, Dennehy said he served a five-year tour of Vietnam and suffered minor injuries."
None of it happened. Dennehy had served in the US Marine Corps between 1958 and 1963 but did not set foot in Vietnam. The closest he came to combat was playing inter-service American football in Okinawa.
Dennehy publicly apologised for his deception in 1999. But there are reports that he continued telling embellished stories of courage under fire to anyone silly enough to listen.
try that in Australia and see what happens ........
