Yes. He also claims to have been involved in a ridiculously movie-style incident at a gas station. There is no evidence whatsoever that this incident ever occurred. Also, he is the one who claimed to have knocked out Jesse Ventura at a bar (a court found that he defamed Ventura with this prevarication). I read the book. And while I salute his years of service (IMO, he did way too many tours when he could have been at home with his family), I have no interest in the continued lionization of the military with films such as this.

And his claim that there were posters around Iraq with his name and a bounty on it like he was damn Han Solo.
