    1. Wrong he tried to join oss but his wife hid the letter from him so he missed out on the opportunity to join he also asked John Ford if he could join his unit, not to mention the studio he worked for said they'd sue the hell out of him if he joined

    2. Tbh I wouldn't want to enlist as a 6'5' man when the average soldier was 5'8 lol. Who do you think a German soldier is going to select as a target when aiming down the sights at a group of soldiers

    3. This is the main reason why I refuse to go to war for any country to be honest they want you to go to war and die while they stay back, living the good life sleeping with all the lonely women eating all the good food and you’re out there suffering for them yeah no thank you

    4. John wayne got himself 0 deferments. His main deferment was 3-A, as he was 34 with 4 kids. Then his studio got him 2-A which was an "occupation deferment" which was approved because he made an absolute fuckton of money for the war effort so he was seen as more useful to have as a cash cow than anything.

      Multiple great stars were also defered for medical (waynes kneww was shit which was the main reason for his gait) and for family which is never an issue.

      as for many of the stars people compare him to, they never married or had kids and were just famous

    5. The expectation dying for a government that keeps you sick and poor is wild. No one dies for their, they die for their elected officials.

    6. JOHN WAYNE DID NOT SHIRK ANY KIND OF DUTY..
      THE MILITARY WOULD NOT ACCEPT HIM CUZ HE WAS MARRIED AND HE HAD KIDS…
      DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU RUN YOUR STUPID MOUTH

    7. On the low end, 100 million whites from Europe, America, and Australia were slaughtered in the greatest blood libel the world has seen because a people rejected the global banking usury cartel and began printing their own money. Such a crime.

      And people celebrate the staggering loss of life which whites still haven't recovered from. It was the beginning of the end of ethnic whites. And people still really out here with "but muh democracy!" and shaming boys to sign up for a meat grinder.

      Now 80 years later you got dudes shaming dead men for not offing themselves in the meat grinder.

    8. A college football player with injuries.
      A Hollywood stuntman when he started.
      I am so tired of berating the shade of John Wayne. The communists always have to pick on any conservative

    9. Well that doesnt make sense because Wayne contacted Ford about joining his unit, but things like a shoulder injury and Herbert Yates threatening a lawsuit if he diverted from his contract kept him away from the war, he was also put into the 3 – A Category as he was a married dad to 4 kids
