???
A)
"shoot (oneself) in the foot:
To do or say something that inadvertently undermines one's interests."

B)
What could possibly arouse that suspicion? Did you see anything in the movie that would lead you to believe he was less than an honorable and heroic soldier?

OP- Your post says a lot more about you than the movie.

No, but what he said intrigued me. He said that the sniper got 7 of them before he was taken out. I wondered if Betty's husband was one of them. I know she said he was in the Pacific, and Bob was in Italy, but as Dottie said, she THOUGHT he was. They moved around a lot, so you never know.
