But being serious for a second, it may be one of those infamous false memories. Memory is extremely malleable, which is one of the problems with witness testimonies - esp. with the old ones.

On the other hand, it’s such a conveniently heroic story that maybe he indeed just lied all this time.

Hey, Romney and Jeb don’t remember being bullying assholes in prep school; Brian Williams remembers things that never occurred; Newt and Pat Boone conflate old movies with current political events; Rand Paul makes “temporal” connections between vaccines and profound mental disorders.

Shit happens, dude. It’s just another day in Amurrika. //
