I will say this much, at least he isn't bragging about his service in Vietnam like he single-handedly won the war. He admits he was a mail clerk(regardless of how he finegled his way into that position) and he admits other people had it tougher than he did.
That being said, he needs to pull his head out of his fourth point of contact, breathe air for the first first time this millennium, and realize it's not all about him.
