For those wondering, Abe also has some trauma from this because he was not paid his share after the toys became popular. Edit: while the original comment was partly true the main reason for Abe’s ptsd was a kiss with a gay man which made him question how manly he was which led him to run out and never accept the contract that would reward him. Sorry for the misinformation.

No because of the gay photographer that kissed him😅

Exactly! The hell was Disney+ thinking by turning a wholesome veteran character into a stolen valor chud like that's not cool. Definitely disrespectful to The Flying Hellfish including Mr. Burns even though IMO Mr. Burns is a POS but Disney+ did him dirty by making one of his Officers a stolen valor chud. Guess Disney+ decided to appeal to some types of non-wokies for just a moment. Not saying all non-wokies are like that but their are some (emphasis on some not all) apparently on our side that think it's ok to make it look/sound like commited stolen valor while protecting themselves or others that commit stolen valor it's really disgusting & now a wholesome show that was turned woke is now both left & far right friendly like I'm a conservative but some on our side are pretty loony like the lefties to
