Why on earth is Tom Cruise portraying Claus von Stauffenberg in Valkyrie? What a bad choice. Then, on top of it, to have him with this dainty little eye patch?

He was missing a hand, missing fingers from the other one, and wasn’t without scars elsewhere. He wasn’t a ramrod straight military officer with a dainty little eye patch.
