I do have a question hopefully someone can answer because I really do not know the answer.

John Wayne played in lots of Westerns and also lots of war movies. He always was thought of as a symbol of Americans and a true patriot. Why
did he not ever enlist in the military?
Few people have served the interests of the United States with equal impact as the late great John Wayne. You can serve your country in myriad ways, and John Wayne served his beloved country well.
