this is why I dont like players using names of actual war heroes. sometimes the way you act brings a bit of disrespect to the name you use. does he act this way when you disagree with him?

I actually look at it another way: it's an attempt to transfer some honor from the name onto the user... but, either way - and reserving judgment on Vrac (no reason, at this time, to have any hard feelings toward him), here - I share this concern.
Now, otoh, a Man who names himself after a giant rubber lizard, well, you just KNOW he's got it going on - and in so many ways.
consider an example: One year, in the course of our regular USTA season of recreational interclub play, we did well enough - the boys and I - to advance to regionals. While there in Indiana, I noticed some dude all dressed like Nadal; same headband, outfit, even the same yellow Babolat racquet. It turned out he was a 3.0 and played a push game. I know because I watched him.
Back in the day, you'd call that a drugstore cowboy, a second-hander.
Edit: some might also call it a "rump rustler" or, how you say, "turd burglar". I find that last name particularly descriptive. Imagine the perp, dressed in a mask and dark clothing. He discretely tiptoes across the flow and stops before a slumbering lump. With a quiet <snap> the glove goes on. Out of a small sack, a nondescript tube is pulled, its contents generously applied to the thumb and index finger of the gloved hand...
The rest, you can imagine.
