Question: Was Warren's story about general Smithers' son real, or he was merely making it up in order to provoke him?
Answer: It's honestly been up for debate ever since the film came out, and people still don't have any real consensus. So I don't necessarily think there's a "right" answer. I personally think there may be a kernel of truth to it, but that he also embellished the story greatly to provoke Smithers. (Ex. I wouldn't be surprised if the sexual assault was completely fabricated).

I think that this story is at least partially true because Warren knew the full name of Smithers' son.
And he even knew his hair colour.
