Quote from hoodooman:
You can add John Wayne to that list of chicken hawks.
He avoided the draft in world war II because of a "bad shoulder". Then I saw him on the Lucy Show, when he picked up "Lucy and Ethel Merts", both at the same time and swung them around.
He later starred in the "Green Berets" just before we lost the Vietnam war.
The no good S.O.B actually convinced himself that he was a genuine american hero.
His coonskin cap from the movie "The Alamo" is actually displayed in the Alamo along with the real artifacts of the americans who died there. I saw it there in 1975. To me, this was the greatest affront of all.

heheheronald reagan actually pulled a similar stunt.
in his last couple of years as president, he would tell what he thought were REAL WAR STORIES about himself and his buddies in the trenches..
..only thing was, he was never in a war! these were movies he starred in that he thought were actual wars.

soooo proud of you
