But first I looked up the eponymous George Polk on Wikipedia, and find he has a contested pedigree. Historian Richard B Frank accused him of parlaying a creditable hitch of ground support on Guadalcanal into a far more glamorous and dangerous tour as a naval pilot.
Nevertheless, exaggerating a genuine war record is a less serious offense in a journalist than condoning the murder of other journalists.
