I can kind of understand why some folks want to be something they're impressed by, but didn't get a chance to do or be, but telling outrageous lies about it just makes them seem pathetic at best. Must have been a little hard for Williams seeing all those guys doing exiting and heroic things, and only getting to watch. Shame of it is, just being there to report on it took more than average *****, and put him in more exciting situations than most folks would have in 10 lifetimes; he didn't have to make up stories to get respect. I'll admit, I personally feel it would have been nice to have a purple heart or bronze star to show the grandkid, but a lot of folks that got those never got to show their kids or grandkids, so I'm not going to complain about it. Or claim I did...
I've also learned not to mention a few of my own exciting moments, lot of folks would think I was making it up. Same for my brother in Iraq. In his case, he has photos to substantiate some good stories; I don't, darnit.

I've never done much to be famous, but with all the stuff I've done and gotten away with I can keep a bunch of people laughing for about an hour.
keeping people happy and yourself amused is pretty good in my book
cause like the man said; "life goes by in the wink of a young girl's eye"

For 2 years I watched helicopter crews as well as average GI's perform unbelievable acts of selflessness and bravery on a daily basis.....and without any fanfare, any thoughts of personal safety, or desire for glory or notoriety.
People such as him, who have done nothing but seek to put themselves in the limelight, are pathetic.
