"Liars very seldom have an attack of conscience. If they can tell a lie that gets them fame and fortune, they will continue to tell lies and eventually get caught at it."
A generalization which assumes that liars never stop (debatable) and are always caught (debatable; the people who routinely bash politicains will likely disagree most vocally)
"I some how doubt that a liar would have the fortitude to go stomping across the continent recruiting pilots for a training program, and in so doing, ruin his health almost to the point death, and at the very least, shortening his life span by numerous years."
Why ? Does stretching the truth in 1917-1918 incapacitate a man for life ?
"I am sometimes amazed at how we can so easily forget his contributions during WWII while we're caught up arguing about what he did or didn't do in WWI."
Admitting his Second World War services (which were significant but let us not get carried away; while Bishop was attending wings parades he had a very efficient Air Commodore running the office) the Second World War services are irrelevant to the subect of the debate as to his First World War career.
"Although I also wonder, if he had been killed in action in WWI, if we'd be having this conversation at all."
Like, types like Ball or Richthofen having been killed in action, nobody ever writes in about them ?
