Wasn't he also a pro wrestler briefly in the late 1970s?
Yes.
The album "A-Team" has been linked to the TV show. Is there any basis for this? I'd never heard there was a connection. RivGuySC 05:51, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
Drguayo 13:48, 10 April 2007 (UTC) I am considering adding a section to this article as Barry was a friend of mine. I knew him from the end of the civil war in Guatemala(1985) until death. The day we met I had been feeling off for a few weeks and ended up sitting beside Barry at Bar Europa. After discussing my symptoms he sent me off to get tested for Hepatitis which I ended up having(type A). The doctor had given me vials to inject myself to aid in liver function so Barry was the one who gave me my first few injections and taught me how to do it. We got together whenever I was in Guatemala(a few months a year) and he was out and about. He was such a character and a real jokester, like the time he sent Freddie a girl from New Orleans:she showed up at Freddie's bar and said "Hi, my name's Toy, Barry sent me for you" - didn't work out well for Freddie as his wife happened to be visiting the bar at the same time - but I do know 2 guys(a French Canadian and an American) who did have a lot of fun over the next week. In the end Barry really wasn't himself as his life had become unmanageable and he was just coping by various destructive habits. What does everyone think? Should I just add a section as an addendum like "The Barry Sadler I knew".
I removed the statement that Sadler served prison time for the murder of Lee Emerson Bellamy, as there was no source. Googling "Lee Emerson Bellamy" got me one non-wiki entry that referenced Sadler, which said he was acquitted. Seems contentious. Best not to call someone a murderer (even if they're not alive) without some pretty compelling proof. - R. fiend ( talk) 04:26, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Something I've wondered for quite a while: While it was not unusual for SF soldiers to receive the Combat Infantry badge, (even if their primary Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) was not Infantry, most of them held an Infantry secondary MOS qualification), it is unusual for someone with primary MOS in the medical field (Sadler should have been a 91B3S at the time (now 18D) as an SF medic) who served in direct combat NOT to have received a Combat Medic Badge. The same conditions needed to qualify for the CIB for the Infantry types would qualify a medic for the CMB. Any one know why the late SSG Sadler is shown with the CIB?

As of 07/24/2015, the link in citation #6 is broken. I did a quick search for the author's name, Sadler's name, and the Sentinal and could not find a mirror or new host.
"He recovered completely and kept his promise." There's no promise mentioned elsewhere in the article. Bizzybody ( talk) 02:26, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
