I understand the draft, but I'm not talking about his participation in Vietnam. I'm talking about his apparent desire to depict himself as the hero in Vietnam. The way it was done, it looks like he used the situation of the war as long as it was useful to him (the films), then got back and decided his films wouldn't be worth as much as the anti-war crowd. I realize there were plenty of people in combat who disagreed with the whole thing, but most of them weren't playing war in front of cameras in their spare time.

You make it sound like a weekend event. Its like saying you can either be proud of making the honor roll in school, or ashamed of some of the things you did in school, but not both. You cant say "I earned a letter in track" and also say "I beat up a kid for being for the other team" at the same time?
If he got a purple heart then he got a purple heart. Now if he had gotten a silver star SPECIFICALLY for what he felt at the time was an atrocity and tried to claim both at the same time then I could see it being hypocritical.
