John Wayne was an American hero period. He had every right to say whatever he felt. The Constitution gives him that right .many Americans died to give us the right to express our feelings.the horrid media mock and swear at our president and these protectors hurt and do evil acts and no one fusses about this horrid crap. God bless John Wayne and his family

Wayne was a complicated with both a lot of excellent ideas and bad ones. But he was honest to a fault; looked out for others and was the quintessential American!
@tackssherbo71048 жыл бұрын
+Christopher Tyler He was a quintessential coward!! He did everything he could and pulled all the strings he could in Hollywood and elsewhere to keep his ass from serving in WWII. He never fired a shot in defense of his country, except BLANKS in his war movies. Yet, he was the first one in line to cram his carcass into a uniform when the cameras were rolling. He was not fit to lick the boots of people like Jimmy Stewart, Lee Marvin, Audie Murphy, or even Martha Raye.
@mcgarrett10008 жыл бұрын
+Tacks Sherbo Is it really fair to compare anyone to Audie Murphy? He was one of the most decorated soldiers of all time. In fact, Murphy BECAME a celebrity and an actor BECAUSE of his service. He didn't leave an acting career behind to enlist. So it's a bad comparison all around. John Wayne hurt his knee playing football at USC and was 4F. He was also 34 when Pearl Harbor was bombed (granted Stewart was around the same age), married, with 4 kids. How could he have possibly done more for the war effort with a rifle in Europe than he did on the homefront selling war bonds and raising morale? Also, was everyone who didn't serve in WWII a coward in your eyes, or just John Wayne?
@tackssherbo71048 жыл бұрын
+Thomas Gould John Wayne was just beginning his career and was worried that if he served in the war, people would :"forget" him. He involved his studio to keep him out of serving. A 4F classification doesn't mean much in a WORLD war if you WANT to serve and soldiers are necessary.. Four of our uncles signed up. One of them had a partially ruptured ear drum, signed up and was accepted. Another had only half vision in one eye, signed up and was taken. And I know that Murphy's acting career sprang from his being a hero. When Murphy went to sign up with the Marine Corps, they didn't want him because he was too short and small in stature. He went to more than one Marines recruiting station. Then he went to the Army and they didn't hesitate accepting him. My own father went to sign up. He already had two kids, and was a farmer. He worked his farm alone. Three recruiting stations turned him away because he was a farmer and producing food, plus he was the only surviving son. They told him no way---soldiers have to eat and his service in the field was just as important. He then signed up with Civil Defense and spent five nights a week not only learning about chemical warfare and defense tactics, but standing watch over an electric power complex outdoors in the dead of winter five nights a week. I guess something like that Wayne just didn't have precious time for. Sorry, but in my opinion, doing a couple of Hollywood photo op spots selling war bonds doesn't quite cut it for being classified as a respected "famous" patriot.
@mcgarrett10008 жыл бұрын
+Tacks Sherbo Sounds like your family sure did its share. Please accept my gratitude for your family's service. And maybe you're right. Maybe he could have pulled strings to get into the armed services rather than out. However, I don't think it's fair to call a man a coward because he wasn't required to serve and didn't. And I do think he loved this country whether he wore a real uniform or not. Nevertheless, you're certainly entitled to your opinion. Thanks for keeping it civil, and my respects to your family for its service and sacrifice.
@tackssherbo71048 жыл бұрын
Thomas Gould Many have done their share without expecting gratitude. Neither my family nor I ever expected anything except to come home alive when we finished our service, which we did, with a couple of us being left with lifetime reminders. My "fury," so to speak, is directed at a man who treated "common" people he encountered as lowly and beneath him, all the while acting as if he were a hero. I know people who have been victims of his insults and disdain when he took his yacht up north and stopped at a very tiny port up north years ago. They were basically thrilled to have the "Duke" visit their tiny neighborhood. Let's say he didn't leave the area with the same fan base. No need for me to repeat what they called him. As to that "knee injury," funny that it wasn't evident in any way in any of his films. And he certainly didn't have any difficulty jamming his feet into stirrups and vaulting his hefty carcass unto a horse without any grimace, then galloping like the wind, then leaping off the beast with not a speck of a limp. A British actor, David Niven, was in the Royal Service before the war broke out. He was somewhat of a hellion. Well, he got the Hollywood bug and resigned his commission by letter as he was on his way to Hollywood. Then, when England declared war on Germany in 1939, he went back and was re commissioned and eventually served in combat. Winston Churchill made a comment to him in 1940 ----.“Young man, you did a fine thing to give up your film career to fight for your country. Mark you, had you not done so − it would have been despicable.” There were a significant number of entertainers who had a different perspective about what should be valued above all.

People like to create a long list of those actors and others who were enlisted in the armed services of the US during WWII as a justification and example of John Wayne being a dodger or coward. Such commenters and people never met or talked to John Wayne or heard what he had to say in person. The long lists include people like Lee Marvin, Jimmy Stewart, Clark Gable, etc. You know what you will never find? You will never find those three people criticizing John Wayne. You will not find any actor, like Audie Murphy the most decorated WWII veteran disrespecting John Wayne. Why, those actors knew John and knew what the deal was. But you people judging John don't see that hypocrisy do you? Unlike today's indoctrinated youth and to a lesser extent the older and still unwise adults who insult John, these actors and basically all the rest admired John Wayne. They new him personally, knew exactly what was going on and they were all his friends and proud to be his friends. They would not appreciate the ignorance being demonstrated or the insults at John. They would and did stand up for him. When John got his one an only Oscar, Jimmy Steward congratulated him with love for the man. Lee Marvin was one of Johns longest and best friends. He never criticized John Wayne for not serving. Neither did Medal of Honor winner and most decorated WWII vet Audie Murphy or any other combat vet. John knew thousands in Hollywood, but can you find them criticizing John for being a coward? But you who never met or talked to John over half a century later despise him. What a lesson you are in hypocrisy and ignoring facts that don't fit your agenda of liberal, socialist hate. Judge a person you don't know, but you would hate it if the same thing was happening to you. The uniformity of respect Johns' fellow veteran actors had for him is factual and there is nothing in print or interview to suggest anything but admiration of him as a man by Hollywood vets who actually knew John Wayne. Point your finger at John for not being in combat or serving the military, but neither do have most of you served or admitted your own shortcomings and hypocrisy. You are like the men facing Mary Magdalene, ready to stone the adulterer, but not admit to being the other adulterer. You are like men in the Middle East stoning women or dominating them while yelling your righteousness, but you hide behind them in battle and execute your captives. You hate John, you insult him, you judge him, you commit sin against him, but you didn't know him. You are worms digging up bones.

Gary Kirby Allow me to set the record straight on this for you Gary. Upon graduating from Glendale High School in 1925, Wayne applied to the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, hoping to live out his dream of being a career Naval officer. He came close, but was instead chosen the first alternate candidate. By the start of World War II Wayne had also been suffering for years from a badly torn shoulder muscle incurred in a body surfing accident that cost him his football scholarship at USC in 1927. He also had a bad back from performing his own stunts during ten years acting in “B” Westerns. Moreover, he suffered from a chronic ear infection, resulting from hours of underwater filming on Cecil B. De Mille’s 'Reap the Wild Wind' in 1941. Also, as a married but separated father of four and thirty-four years old in 1942 Wayne was classified by the Selective Service as 3-A (deferred for family dependency). And in 1944 as the U.S. Military feared a manpower shortage he was reclassified 1-A (draft eligible). And, he never disputed this reclassification but his employer, Republic Studios did and requested he be given a 2-A classification, which meant to be deferred in the national interest. (Raising money for war bonds, etc., while his age was a big factor too) Moreover, because Wayne was Republic's biggest star, there is a letter on file where they would have sued him for 'breach of contract,' had he entered the military on his own and been accepted. (highly unlikely given his age; number of kids to support and health issues) That not withstanding, in 1943 John Wayne tried to get a commission in the Marine Corps and get attached to Ford’s O.S.S. (the forerunner of the C.I.A.) Field Photographic Unit. In Pappy; the Life of John Ford, Dan Ford says emphatically “…that the billets were frozen in 1943. John (Ford) couldn’t get Wayne in as an enlisted man, much less an officer.” Also, there is this: .... a letter from Wayne to Ford in May of 1942 in the John Ford Papers at Indiana State University in which Wayne practically begs his mentor to find a way for him to join up: “Have you any suggestions on how I should get in? Can you get me assigned to your outfit, and if you could, would you want me? How about the Marines? You have Army and Navy men under you. Have you any Marines or how about a Seabee or what would you suggest or would you? No I’m not drunk. I just hate to ask for favors, but for Christ sake you can suggest can’t you?" HARDLY THE WORDS OF A MAN SEEKING TO SHIRK DUTY LIKE MR. CLINTON. Ford’s Field Photo Unit was no rear echelon cakewalk either, composed mainly of cameramen, sound men and editors with Ford as the boss. They were often right in the thick of things as they were on June 4, 1942 at the decisive naval battle at Midway where Ford himself was wounded by shrapnel. Two of Ford’s cameramen were killed during the war, Junius Stout and Arthur Meehan, both sons of well-known Hollywood cinematographers. Then in 2003 the above document surfaced in a National Archives traveling exhibit that at the time stirred no great interest - John Wayne’s application to the O.S.S. On page twenty-three in a Los Angeles Times Magazine article dated September 21, 2003 Coming Soon: Living History On Exhibit are photos of two pages of at least twelve of Wayne’s August 2, 1943 application SA-1, page eleven marked in red pencil at the top “22087.” There is no doubt it is Wayne, he uses his birth name of Marion Robert Morrison, his middle name being changed to Mitchell after the birth of his younger brother Robert and his next of kin is listed as his then estranged wife Josephine Morrison with Mrs. John Wayne in parenthesis. Here for the first time is the first hard evidence that Wayne volunteered for potentially dangerous service with the equivalent of today’s C.I.A., and the papers are not out of someone’s attic, but official government documents.

Christopher Tyler BS!! THAT whole 'embellished story' was made up by the studio to save his coward ass. BECAUSE there were other big AND bigger stars that enlisted, they all could have used that same line of BS, BUT didn't. There is a recent bio out him, just last year. The author researched him extensively .. and proved he could have served. The most he finally reacted was to say he felt guilty. Lots of stars were older and had studio contracts, Wayne just took advantage is the main difference!!! AND THAT IS THE FACT(S)!!! Sorry you don't like it.

What a lot of people do NOT realize, because they don't take the time to research it, was that John Wayne applied to the U.S. Naval Academy but was not accepted. He tried to enlist in WWII, but college football and other injuries (shoulder and fractured collarbone) kept him out. He made up for it in his representation of America in a number of war movies, but always regretted that he could not have been in the military. He was very smart, and studied many things, and generally knew what he was talking about when he commented on an issue. We do not know who Glenn Beck is, but everyone knows who John Wayne is/was!

John was not interested in fighting in WWII and instead stayed at home to make films and money. Yep, a real right winger.

John Wayne was a minor star when the war started. With most of the big stars joining in, Wayne became a big star. He never applied to enlist. Check your facts fool!

+Lorraine Wallace Real men ! His name John Wayne is not even real. He ducked out on WW 2 and then worked to expose so called communist who actually fought in the war for America. Marion Morrison a true phony and coward ! Those are the facts !

Lawrence D. Elliott the only thing shocking was he had the balls to say it publicly.everything he said about Hollywood then and what he feared it was becoming has become a reality. John wayne was no racist either.the left always tries and control the narrative on everything because when they don't they and Their fucked up ideas are proven to be the real BS.
