One episode I always waited for, but that never came was the real story of what happened to Cotton during the war. Cotton's war stories were always crazy tall tales, and some of the battles he claims to have fought in were overlapping. At one point he claims he fought in Munich then takes it back. I was expecting his injury to turn out to be something comically stupid, or just a accident like a tank ran over his legs after he tripped and fell in front of it shortly after arriving in Japan. Also it would turn out the majority Cotton's medals were fake, and the only real one was the purple heart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nE0Z-V7-Jpo Like that story right there is a mixture of JFK, Audie Murphy, and the USS Indianapolis.

I always assumed that elements of Cotton's story about how he lost his shins were true. There were tons of parts he outright lied about and the parts that were true were greatly exaggerated. They definitely didn't let him continue fighting after they recovered him from that incident so he must have killed his fiddieth man that day.

I think there was an episode , the one where peggy learns to walk again, where even hank was like , who knows what happened to cotton during the war. What did happen was his shins did get blown off and the doctor told him he'd never walk again. I cant remember the rest but didn't he say cotton headbutted his junk or something. I like that. Maybe it was all made up. But the dude got his shins blown off and his feet are sewn to the bottom of those stumps and is walking around like hes still 6 ft tall. Cotton deserves the war hero treatment.

I always took it as Cotton really did fight and maybe do heroic things, but he's told the stories so many times and stretched the truth so much that he doesn't recall the actual events well anymore, which is why he mixes up where he even fought.

This is also how I feel. Every time you see him handling a gun he does so with natural skill, and he's practically not afraid of anyone. Maybe not fiddy but he must have killed some people.

Some things just seem very odd about Cotton's war record. Like when in full dress uniform Cotton was shown wearing the Medal of Honor, and Legion of Honour. Those are the highest military decorations for both the USA, and France. Yet for some reason he had to fight to get a burial plot in the veterans' administration cemetery. There is no way in hell a veterans cemetery is ever going to consider turning down a Medal of Honor winner. You'd also think Hank would bring up the fact that Cotton won the Medal of Honor all the time, I mean the award is so prestigious that it is presented to the recipient by the President in person. Then again you could put it down to inconsistent writing since later on Cotton has them flush his ashes down the bar toilet General George S. Patton once used, thus making his fight for the cemetery plot totally pointless.

Cotton at least really believes he killed fifty men. At the sweat lodge, the men he killed all appeared to him wanting revenge. What is more doubtful are all the details leading up to that.Detective No. 27 posted:I always assumed that elements of Cotton's story about how he lost his shins were true. There were tons of parts he outright lied about and the parts that were true were greatly exaggerated. They definitely didn't let him continue fighting after they recovered him from that incident so he must have killed his fiddieth man that day. Maybe I am remembering wrong but when they go to Japan, says he was being treated in the hospital at the end of the war so his injuries occured likely around then. His treatment overseas finished when they shipped him back to the United States.

I figured it was more of a nod to Joseph being John Redcorn's son. Just like his John he's a tremendous horndog but got a Gribble upbringing so he's socially clueless.
