He was and still is an icon. I liked the characters he usually portrayed, a little rough around the edges, heroic types. As has been said earlier, he probably did far more from a morale standpoint than he could have done by joining up. Think of Bob Hope entertaining the troups vs Bob Hope with an M1 or swabbing a deck.
As to his movies, I have and enjoy a few of his old "cliffhanger" serials like "The Hurricane Express" and "The Three Mesquiteers". Good, old fashioned fun.
