@badhand1 Hey, they should make a movie about YOUR life! They could call it "big pussy who never did jack shit with his life and thinks he's cool on the internet by making fun of a decorated war-hero". I'm sure everyone will think you're AWESOME bro.

A true American badass.

@Blahblobify

Fine, you go on thinking we're all naive, and I'll go on thinking you're a pathetic excuse for a human being, and we'll leave it at that :)

@MasterofArda

"Wallowing in self pity"?

All I did was tell you that all 4 of my grandparents have been dead for over 60 years.

You brought them up, I just wanted to point out that I'm hardly a kid and I can't stand fabricated WW2 tales.

Anyway if you want to believe chief fuckhisface 's stories of stealing a herd of tanks or whatever go for it.

@Blahblobify

Well, I'm sorry, but you're personal losses don't give you the right to make claims about people you don't know in front of their close relatives. Wallowing in self-pity and taking it out on others is how I behaved when I was twelve.

@Blahblobify

BTW, what's assholish is to criticize Joe for being a supposed liar in front of his own grandson. Why don't you think about how close you are to your grandparents and then call someone an asshole.

@Blahblobify

You misspeak, I said the truth matters to Joe, Ironbraidz, and the Crow people because its their story, but not to you and me. Whether we believe it or not, its not within our rights to make a big deal about it, because its not our story. If Joe Medicine Crow never did any of those things, the Nazis still lost the war, and that's what truly matters to everyone.

@MasterofArda

LOL yes one of the Tuskegee Airmen said the same thing when it was pointed out that all the fantastic claims made about them weren't true either (like no bomber they escorted was ever shot down, they got the first jet kill in a dogfight, etc) and he said with a STRAIGHT FACE "what does it matter?".

The TRUTH matters. To say it doesn't is.....assholish.

@Blahblobify

Here's the thing: does it really matter?

At the end of the day, is it really all that important to you whether or not JMC did all those badass deeds? Of course it doesn't. You never knew Joe. Why should you actually care about what he did or didn't to during WWII? I personally believe Joe's stories, but it doesn't really affect me either.

But it does matter to Ironbraidz, and to the Crow nation, and to Indians in general. If they want to believe his stories, why not just let them?

@lonewulf44

IDK, if someone told me that my grandpa was lying about his actions during WWII, I'd be pretty pissed too.

[lonewulf44]

@IrOnBrAiDz15 That's fine , but as I said there are better more effective ways than just spewing random curse words and such. That only hurts the image supporters of JMC. Again " If you want to defend your grandfather then do so with words, facts, and cohesive verbal defense." Good luck to you.
