"Later in life Westmoreland was unscrupulously tricked into telling the truth by \"ambush reporter\" Mike Wallace. This misunderstanding developed into a bitter court case with both heroes fighting over custody of \"THE fact\" (Fact: Westmoreland's an official liar). In spite of the fact, Westmoreland is most fondly remembered as the commander who had the greatest number of unwilling pre-voter teenage kids drafted, brainwashed, and exterminated than any other general in U.S. history.
