Respectfully, you’re burying the lede by not even mentioning how his service in the Navy led to the Church of Scientology admitting that it’s a based on a lie.
"According to the Church’s chief spokesman, if it was true that Hubbard had not been injured, “the injuries that he handled by the use of Dianetics procedures were never handled, because they were injuries that never existed; therefore, Dianetics is based on a lie; therefore, Scientology is based on a lie.” "
