That is nice, it is nice what he is doing.

I do have a problem with him and anybody else stating that doing something is the "right thing to do" in a situation when it is their opinion. It would be nice for a pardon which would clear his record but it is not necessarily the "right thing to do" since how many others were in the same situation? I don't know if "Snuffy" Smith received a pardon or the equivalent.

"In the real military such men are the misfits that cannot be changed, only tolerated; until they can be transferred elsewhere and become someone else's problem. They are certainly not the kind of soldier one expects to become a genuine hero as had Sergeant Maynard Smith. Perhaps no one in the 306th Bomb Squadron was more surprised that Snuffy Smith had become a hero to the Air Force and a household name back in America, than the disheveled little man himself," said Andy Rooney, a fellow Airman and author of the book 'My War.'
