John Wayne is always depicted as an American hero in the war movies. In fact, he got a deferment so he did not serve in WWII. The deferment was for being 34 years old. Heck, lots of guys enlisted over the age of 34. Other actors were in WWII like Jimmy Stewart and Clark Gable. Yes, John Wayne movies did get guys to enlist but he never served.

I think he meant John Wayne's CHARACTERS mentality.[/QUOTE]
I am sure he meant the characters that Wayne played, too. I always enjoy a John Wayne movie. In fact, yesterday, TCM had 24 hours of John Wayne movies in their 31 days of Oscar winners. Today, it is Myrna Loy. Way before my time.
