What was so great about Waldo Pepper? [View all]

I thought he was kind of an asshole.

He sabotaged his rival's plane.

He lied about his war record.

He practically pushed Mary Beth off the wing instead of making a genuine effort to save her.

His psychotic pursuit of fame directly led to others getting killed.

Was it just that he was good looking?

What are your thoughts?
