Truth be told he avoided Military Service through a so called football injury. Well 2 weeks before the War ended he was declared A1A.

Mr. Wayne was a 2 pack a day Drunk by 2:00 PM most of his films were done in the AM.

Ask yourself what was J. Wayne doing on " D Day ". Likely Drunk. While smoking a Camel.

He was no better than the Jane Fonda crowd. A total phony.

Years later he attended a reception at the White House to honor the Hanoi Hilton POW's, and had the nerve to sit at the very table with Commander Alvereze the longest person to be in the Hanoi Hilton . No shame, After all he was John Wayne the movie star of the 40's who rode horses fought off bandits, rustlers, Indians, and later on the Japanese on Iwo Jima.

Then onto Vietnam. Oh yes he did it all.

John Wayne had no shame, no guilt, and went about his life adored to this day by individuals like you. Falling off horses, playing hero's, meanwhile …. believe what you like.

Meanwhile their is a statue of Mr. Wayne at the Fort Benning main Gate . Why not Audi Murphy.

John Houston promoted this clown and pulled in many favors to keep out of the military.

Wow...glad that you were able to get all of this stuff that you've been carrying around off your chest.
