I don't know enough about him to know where his heart was really at. I only watched the movie. If he was like the person in the movie, then I don't have a problem with him as a person. Either way though, I try to er on the side of favor to our military members because they have such a tough job, and have been through so much. It's hard to speak when we personally were not in the horrific situations they were in. Interesting question, though. Definitely something to think about.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
