He lies about everything.
This time it’s his uncle Ambrose who was lost at sea during WWII. Genocide Joe lies that he was eaten by cannibals, smearing the people of Papua New Guinea, who fought as America’s allies in that war.

Widely recognized as one of the U.S. Air Force’s best jet pilots in the 1950s, John Boyd wrote his own combat flying manual, which would subsequently be adopted by air forces around the world. (Courtesy of the Boyd Family)
COL John Boyd was quite the maverick in the military ranks and rocked the boat all the time. You will not though incredibly capable, he was never promoted to flag rank.
One of the best insights he ever gave was that when one distills strategy simply, it is: encouraging alliances and isolating enemies.
He was one of the few really critical thinkers who shifted the military strategic paradigms in a positive way in the twentieth century. Unfortunately, he never wrote a book.
Here is his power-point presentation that spells out his notions in detail.

Parts of the “left” and “right” often lament that class politics has given way to identity politics. I don’t get that. Class was the original modern political identity, and state privilege was part of the cause. Libertarians and classical liberals long warned that lethal and impoverishing social disintegration would result from an ideology — socialism– based on Marxist class conflict, which pits business people against working people (as if business people don’t work).
We need to abolish politics, not reform it because it’s toxic. That won’t eliminate classes, or useful social categories. We’ll always have people who own businesses, people who manage them, and people employed by them. But those are not and won’t be pure categories. Owners work. Managers work. And workers own — shares in corporations. (Check your retirement account.) Ultimately, in the free market everyone has the same boss: the consumers.
What we must strive for is, to coin a phrase, classes without borders. That is, mobility. To get it we need free markets, which would end: occupational licensure, home-bulding restrictions, business permits, the minimum wage, immigration control, and so much more.
