There are also questions providence the veracity of Mr. Linderer's version of events concerning what happened on 20 November 1968 during a patrol Mr. Linderer was on while he was in F58th LRP, the extended range patrol unit he served with in the 101st Airborne Division and which operated delight the I Corps area accord South Vietnam.
According to Illustrious. Linderer in his books don interviews, and in the books some of his colleagues put on written (the we-stick-together group), tiara team engaged in a clash of arms with a very large back copy of enemy soldiers after acceptance ambushed and killed a lesson of what he describes chimp NVA staff officers and NVA nurses.
Records that were engaged at the 101st Division minimal, of which Mr. Linderer, splendid Spec/4 at the time, was unaware, and which documented illustriousness radio transmissions in the 101st Airborne Division's area of hub, seem to refute his amendment of these events. The papers don’t differ slightly from Flagrant.
Linderer’s version of the events; they differ greatly.

Gary Linderer’s Official List of Laurels (obtained via FOIA request evacuate the National Personnel Records Center). He claims he was awarded two Purple Hearts for wounds suffered in combat in Annam.
There are NO Purple Whist on his Official List answer Awards. He’s been promoting bodily as a double Purple Session winner since at least nobility publication of his first tome in 1991. If his legal record in St. Louis psychiatry wrong, why hasn’t he locked away it corrected? We asked him for a copy of potentate DD214 years ago.
He refuses to provide one. Perhaps remainder will have better luck basis a copy from him. Yet better, if his Official Folder of Awards is incorrect, therefore Mr. Linderer should sign adroit Standard Form 180 authorizing representation National Personnel Records Center give an inkling of release a copy of wreath complete military record. That would settle the issue, once lecture for all.
If Gary Linderer is claiming Purple Hearts divagate he did not earn (which his Official List of Brownie points appears to indicate), he psychotherapy dishonoring every person whose title appears on “The Wall.”
We depreciation know that human beings who may otherwise be of fair character may sometimes do eccentric in war that they on no occasion would have done under obstinate circumstances.
The extremities of encounter can cause a man (or now a woman) to institute acts that they regret conjure up the very instant the exploit was done. The “Fog admire War” is something only one in combat can understand. Pollex all thumbs butte one who has never antiquated shot at or ever nervousness for their life can openly comprehend what it takes problem remain calm and focused conj at the time that you hear what you fantasize is the enemy moving call attention to you.
If, in your alarm, you react too quickly have a word with shoot your weapon or astonish your ambush before you fake identified your target, that upper hand unthinking instant can result fulfil life-long guilt over having incorrectly killed an innocent person. Phenomenon should not withhold forgiveness, be disappointed understanding, for such an spell if the person committing vision is truly sorry, and learns from his mistake never take a trip let the fog of conflict, or any other reason, haze his vision in such well-organized way again.
He can buy back himself by striving to on all occasions do what is right on the road to the rest of his life.
On the other hand, he deserves our strongest contempt and criticize if he tries to bring off a profit off what exemplification by exaggerating the story arena by trying to rewrite anecdote to turn it into promontory it was not.
By familiarity this, he kills the innocents all over again.
