Snip

Slick Goodlin, who did all the initial testing on the X-1, before it
was in condition to be handed over to the military, got shafted by an
author, and despite all he did with humanitarian airlifts, is recalled
by the public as a greedy person. It doesn't matter what kind of
person one really is, I guess, it only matters how one is portrayed by
the popular media.

I hope for the sake of good people everywhere, you have this backwards...

I think it should read:

It doesn't matter how the popular media portray someone. What matters is
how they really are. This goes for Slick Goodlin and the hundreds of
thousands of others from that generation who were just "doin' a job that
needed doin'."
