I'm pretty sure Jimmy Stewart was the same age when he enlisted. He even got turned down the first time he tried because he was too skinny, so he packed on some pounds and tried again.
Jimmy Stewart and Clark Gable were both older and both were part of SAC flying bombers over Germany one of the most dangerous roles in the war. John Wayne was "medically unfit", fricking homosexual.
nope, DOD has always tried to get celebrities to back their efforts, and having them do PR work vs getting blown up in a trench somewhere is much more valuable.
And it isn't dishonest either, if you believe that a war should be fought, then you should make the maximum contribution that you can, and if that means you make stupid movies that increase enlistment, then that's what you do. If you're a nobody who can only contribute by going in the trenches, then that's what you do.
Who gives a shit about what the DoD thinks? If you're for the war then you should go fight in it, not lure other young men to go fight in your place you slackjawed homosexual.
Oh yeah? Well how many Oscars does Arnie have, huh?
The fact that Stallone does not have an Oscar for best actor in Rocky or Rambo when Wayne got one for just putting on an eyepatch in True Grit is genuinely a fricking travesty.
he won worst actor at the rassies for last blood lol
looked up who won best actor competing against rocky, its a literal who from a literal what movie
good to see the academy as dumb as ever
>look it up >Peter Finch won it posthumously
So really it was the same case as with John Wayne winning one, where they actually pretended like he acted better than Jon Voight or Dustin Hoffman in Midnight Cowboy just because they felt bad about him being old and fat without having won anything. It happens over and over: some old guy dies or has his last shot at being nominated and so they're given a pity Oscar. Then the guys who put out some great acting has to hope they get a pity Oscar at some point in the future because they're "due" one, at which point they'll win over some newer actor who deserves the win. Except Stallone probably won't get one because he went full action star instead of remaining an actor.

yes because it is Show Business and honoring someone who sold a lot of tickets vs some godawful theory actor is right and natural.
"serious actors" should stick to the stage, movies are about entertainment.
He was up against Robert De Niro for Taxi Driver and William Holden and Peter Finch for Network, do you even fricking know what you're talking about you dumb fricking zoomer.
George Beckworth: How do you know we should be fighting for this present government? They've had no free elections. They've had no constitution. Six months ago, a committee was appointed to form a constitution... still no constitution.
Sergeant Muldoon: The school I went to, Mr. Beckworth, taught us that the thirteen colonies, with proper and educated leadership, all with the same goal in mind, AFTER the Revolutionary War, took from 1776 to 1787, eleven years of peaceful effort, before they came up with a paper that all thirteen colonies would sign... our present Constitution.
[the audience applauds]
George Beckworth: That's very good, Sergeant. But there are still a lot of people who believe that this is simply a war between the Vietnamese people! It's their war, let's let them handle it.
Sergeant Muldoon: Let them handle it, Mr. Beckworth?
[Points to a collection of weapons]
Sergeant Muldoon: Captured weaponry. From Red China: Chicom K-50, Chinese communist! SKS Soviet-made carbine, Russian communist! Ammunition, Czechoslovakian-made... Czech communist! No sir, Mr. Beckworth! It doesn't take a lead weight to fall on me or a hit from one of those weapons to recognize that what's involved here is communist domination of the world!
Killed everyone that worked on that film. >The film is sometimes called "An RKO Radioactive Picture". It was filmed near an active nuclear test site in Utah, where 11 tests had reportedly been carried out in the year before the production landed there. The set was contaminated by nuclear fallout, but the Atomic Energy Commission assured Howard Hughes and the local population that the area was completely safe. Photographs exist of John Wayne holding a Geiger counter that reportedly made so much noise that he thought it was broken. After location shooting, Hughes had tons of contaminated soil transported back to Hollywood in order to match interior shooting done there. Over the next 30 years, 91 of the 220 cast and crew members developed cancer. Forty-six died, including John Wayne, Susan Hayward, Pedro Armendáriz (who shot himself soon after learning he had terminal cancer), Agnes Moorehead, John Hoyt, and director Dick Powell. Lee Van Cleef had throat cancer, but died of a heart attack. The count did not include several hundred local Native Americans who played extras, or relatives of the cast and crew who visited the set, including John Wayne's son Michael Wayne. A "People" article quoted the reaction of a scientist from the Pentagon's Defense Nuclear Agency to the news, "Please, God, don't let us have killed John Wayne".
kek what kind of blue haired discord trannies give enough shits to make threads against john wayne?
did they just learn about him or did their discord give them some kind of cheat sheet on how to be a homosexual or something?
just watched The Cowboys, it was good
show us in the archive
trying to make anyone care about john wayne being a draft dodger is fricking pathetic
do discord trannies think that people are talking about actual baby boomers - the only people who care about john wayne - when people say boomer on here?
Friendly reminder that John Wayne was a draft dodging coward
He was a redpilled chad. You sound vaxxed.
He cried about Sam Peckinpah's movies, Wayne and John Ford are both homosexuals and you're a double Black person
>does propaganda shit for the military
super based and redpilled, it was totally because of his convictions and principles that he didn't go
He was too old for the draft
no he wasn't, he was just eligible to be excluded because of his age. the draft went up to 37, he was 34
still pretty damn old to be drafted
I'm pretty sure Jimmy Stewart was the same age when he enlisted. He even got turned down the first time he tried because he was too skinny, so he packed on some pounds and tried again.

In world war 2, the average age of a combat soldier was twenty-six.
In Vietnam, it was n-n-n-n-nineteen
John Ford was making kino on the front lines
>doesn't want to die for israelites who hate him
I don't see a problem
draft dodging is a good thing
Draft dodging is a good thing.
Draft dodging as a war hawk doing propaganda to send other young boys to war is pure homosexualry.
this.

oh to be a summergay
>if you don't suck Marion's wiener you're a summergay
yeah okay
>I literally can not stop thinking about wiener
I accept your concession.
going to die in israelite wars is cringe
And a homosexual that liked to get blow jobs from male extras
wrong, all the leeches and israeli handlers stopped him from enlisting
Look who they cast in the remake
Classic gregg
>John Wayne
>dead
Nah
Oppie killed your idol.
John Wayne was a gay
No, Marion was a woman so it wasn't gay when she sucked all those wieners.
The hell he was!
How could that fat meatball be considered a hero? Arnie is rolling in his grave.
Oh yeah? Well how many Oscars does Arnie have, huh?

John Wayne as Genghis Khan looks like Bryan Cranston as John Wayne playing Genghis Khan.
his name was Marion Morrison
>My home is in Hanoi. I go home too someday. You see. First, kill all stinking Cong, then go home.
