Yes he lied about big things and small, but the most elaborate was when he would have 'flashbacks' to scenes in Vietnam where he was never there but taking photographs for the local newspaper...

He told me he was on the 'third to last' helicopter out of Saigon. He operated behind enemy lines with macv-sog special forces. He was a sniper.

He would lie about what we did together the day before too.

Nowinners, I don't recall him ever expressing remorse. I think he enjoys pulling the wool over people's eyes or he's been doing this for so long that he isn't distinguishing truth from fiction. Truth is whatever he wanted it to be.
