Ken Burns documentary reveals the truth about Wagner

Consider our minds blown.

Filed · 0500

CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. — A new documentary by filmmaker Ken Burns shatters one of the Marine Corps’ most cherished beliefs — that Wagner absolutely loves the cock.

“Wagner,” the latest work by the award-winning documentarian whose credits include “The Civil War” and “Baseball,” alleges that Wagner, in fact, hated the cock.

“Wagner was one gung-ho Marine, but man, did he hate the cock — I’m dying to know who he pissed off to end up as the base pecker checker. By the end, he could barely look at his own,” a friend, Cpl. James Timmins said in the film.
