You think he actually inhaled all that smoke? After a certain point you're just holding a lit cigarette without thinking about it.
I smoke and that's an incredible amount of smoking. Sometimes I'll go weeks without a smoke, even. I couldn't do it all the time, I'd feel nasty.
Dumb esl poster
Grammar is for israelites and homosexuals.
English is a shit tier language anyway.
My name is John Wayne and I'll say anything for a buck but I'd never defend my homeland in time of world war.
He wanted to join but the studio convinced him not to, and put a lot of pressure on him including threatening to sue him if he joined up
Ha! Bigger stars than John Wayne joined. What a joke.
Your point?
>
Your head.
So you have no argument beyond "well bigger stars joined, durr"?
Audie Murphy was a manlet and even he joined.
Okay I get it now
>you have no argument beyond "well bigger stars joined
that is the final penultimate argument
if the studios didn't interfere with them it makes no sense they would do so with Wayne
Those studios had other bankable stars
Wayne's studio didn't
Not bigger stars that worked for the same studio. John Wayne was the only A-lister that Republic Studios had under contract.
He actually did apply to join the army and was accepted, but the acceptance letter went to his ex-wife's address, who didn't tell him about it. He also wrote to his friend John Ford and begged him to use his connections to get him a spot in the marines or a naval unit.
>they wouldn't let him!
>he couldn't figure out how to sign up!
>it was lost in the mail!
The guy ducked the biggest existential war to ever occur. He's a certified coward and was probably a homosexual too given his affinity for stage costuming.
It's on record that he applied for the army and asked people in the army to help him get a spot. You can't call him a draft dodger when he actively tried to serve.
I've seen his "attempts". Complete bunk. The guy draft dodged by tieing himself up in a officer evaluation and when he failed that he refused to sign up. He and handlers gamed the system which allowed him to make movies while his direct competitors were out saving Europe.
Is there a more pathetic display than neocons'
>put on an aggressive american patriot persona for cash

>Is there a more pathetic display than neocons'

Yeah, every variety of commie.
>saving Europe.
back
>Complete bunk. The guy draft dodged by tieing himself up in a officer evaluation and when he failed that he refused to sign up.
But he did sign up. He actively tried to join the military through several methods. To continue to call it draft dodging in light of that fact makes no sense.
>The guy ducked the biggest existential war to ever occur.
sounds kinda like the smart thing to do if u put it this way
>not dying for israel in a shitty jungle
Based Wayne
>Bigger stars than John Wayne
No such animal. John Wayne is far and away the biggest movie star the world has ever seen.
Lol. Lmao. Rofl. And all the others.
No one even comes close.
Am I conversing with capeshitters here?
What?
In the 30s/early 40s he was nowhere near the top guys even in westerns.
We get it you're a nazi
He literally filed a 3-A draft deferment followed by a 2-A (defer for national interest) until he got reclassified 1-A (objector) until he appealed to get 2-A status again. The guy was a fricking coward play acting as an American tough guy.
Nazis aren't real.
2-A isn't something he applied for and again, he did in fact enlist and was accepted, all on record.
>he did in fact enlist
He sent in a letter inquiring about joining John Ford's photography unit through OSS but was rejected.
>John Wayne registered for the draft(which is not the act of someone trying to dodge being drafted) and was told he was ineligible to serve because he was married and supporting four children
>By 1943 however, the military still needed men and Wayne was given a 1A eligible status again since the maximum age had been extended to 63. You could no longer just enlist voluntarily either.
>That 1A status that Wayne received was then challenged by Republic Studios which had him under contract to make a picture a year. Under that contract, they could also loan him out to other studios taking half the money paid to him as a commission.
>Republic Studios needed to stay in the picture business to meet its obligations to the war effort at home and they wanted John Wayne deferred. And John Wayne didn’t have any say in that, he wasn’t a free agent, he was an employee. So the government granted the request.
>So John Wayne really didn’t have any choice here. He wasn’t a free agent, he was working as an employee of Republic and they had asked the government to defer him. Apparently, Wayne didn’t take it very well either. The head of the studio told him that if he tried to quit to join the military the studio would sue him for breach of contract. This begs the question: If the Duke was so determined to avoid being drafted, why would the studio head of Republic have to threaten him with a lawsuit if he left to join the military?
First line is false. Discarded.
Or you're mistaken, which you might not want to admit if you're dead set on discrediting the man.
why didn't they do that to every other actor that enlisted?
two other notable conservative actors did serve:
Jimmy Stewart flew goddamn B-17s over Germany for godsake
Ronald Reagan had joined the Army Reserve in the 1930s and was listed as 4-F due to his eye sight and spent the war making training films and overseeing a signal corps unit processing and editing combat cameraman footage for newsreels - he was a bum but at least he served in some capacity
this story about studios sounds like cope he made up to not sound like a scared b***h
>I was going to enlist but the studio made me stay at home
funny thing about the signal corps service is that by the 1980s he was telling people he had experienced the events in the footage he witnessed being developed, he had dementia in office lol
Good thing democrats never did anything that embarrassing

Name 3 things Trump did wrong.
No wall

Did not send in the National Guard and Army during BLM riots
>no wall
False

That's the governor's job to call them in
Three strikes and you're out
the "wall" didn't do a fricking thing homosexual.
yes he sucked israels balls like the all do.
I'll say whatever on the last part, he could have told the gov to stop being a little b***hboy. BLM was chimping at defcon1 levels.

Trump was the rights Obama. Instead of hope and change, it was drain the swamp and MAGA. Both were the same, unfulfilled promises and half asked measures. Why people in this country don't focus on local, county and state ballots is astounding to me. It's insane how the federal government has convinced everyone it has more power than it does.
1. Be sexist as frick
2. Be racist as frick
and 3. be ableist AS FRICK
He wasn't.
He didn't nuke the Federal Reserve when he had the chance.
I love Trump but he should have liquidated the entire federal bureaucracy and replaced every single position with random posters on /misc/ using NSA to pull the IP’s of the best posters. Hiring 50,000 of the best shitposters from around the world would legitimately been infinitely better than what he did, and we would have completely secured the elections for him and our candidates, forever. We’d be in a literal utopia right now. I won’t list the steps we would have taken to get there, but without hyperbole I promise that would be the reality today. But that another timeline. We’re in the “hell on earth” trajectory now boys. Hope you homosexuals are ready.
That's just sad. You would think there's some kind of "go pill" they'd give him for public appearances or events
Wanting to join the country club known as the OSS doesn't count.
No, you're name is Marion you troony.
>I'd never defend my homeland in time of world war.
there wasnt an invasion force on US soil
>WW2
>defending homeland
Lol from whom? I think you mean "defending central banking"
Imagine falling for Pearl Harbor and “evil Nazis”
I wonder what he thought of the israelites
>Once ate 18 hot dogs in one sitting at Pink's, a Los Angeles hot dog stand.
There is no way he smoked six packs a fricking day. That's enough to make even the most devout smoker sick. Maybe once in awhile, but every single day is bullshit and I am calling either you or him a liar depending on which ass this nonsense came out of.
>There is no way he smoked six packs a fricking day. That's enough to make even the most devout smoker sick.
He had to have a lung and two ribs removed.
whoa he could smoke his own wiener too
Okay, I got one for you.
John Wayne died with 40 pounds of impacted feces in his colon. Apparently he was anal retentive.

Absolutely sane and reasonable position, and he'd be destroyed for it today.
Based
no greentext cause i fricked it up
PLAYBOY: You blame all this on liberals?
WAYNE: Well, the liberals seem to be quite willing to have Communists teach their kids
in school. The Communists realized that they couldn't start a workers' revolution in the
United States, since the workers were too affluent and too progressive. So the Commies
decided on the next-best thing, and that's to start on the schools, start on the kids. And
they've managed to do it. They're already in colleges; now they're getting into high
schools. I wouldn't mind if they taught my children the basic philosophy of communism,
in theory and how it works in actuality. But I don't want somebody like Angela Davis
inculcating an enemy doctrine in my kids' minds.
That's pretty normal?
>Post Celebrity Facts
John Wayne was a draft dodging c**t.
Myth busted
There was a time when I smoked 20 light cigarettes a day and I felt gross and unhealthy. I quit cold turkey and I had some noticeable withdrawal symptoms. Apparently he smoked unfiltered heavy Camels. I assume quitting that cold turkey would probably hospitalize you, he probably woke up in withdrawal every morning. Also, how? I can't possibly imagine smoking more than 20-30 a day, I didn't even enjoy them by the end.
a pack (20) per day seems normal for most smokers. 6 packs a day is insane by any chain-smoker measure
Even when I still smoked, a pack would last me 3 days. Unless I was drinking, but everyone knows how that goes. Granted, even though I started at 16, once I was an adult I decided to not bring them to work with me just to have 9 or 10 hours without smoking. Also most days I was hungover as hell and pushing the limits to show up on time, and the first cigarette is always kinda groggy or whatever. But it is still insane to me how much people smoke. Especially with vapes now. Those things just get people more addicted to nicotine. I usually have a lost mary/elf bar/whatever the frick they call themselves to avoid legal shit in my car for when I go to bars or get home from work. That shit will last me 3 or 4 weeks. I know people who blow through those in 3 or 4 days, or a vial of just in 3 days. Fricking nuts. I kinda view it the same way I view weed honestly. I can't judge tho, as I'm an alcoholic who does more blow than one probably should.
>he probably woke up in withdrawal every morning
I smoked 2 packs of normal Camels a day and yeah I'd wake up with minor anxiety and some sweating. Not to mention my quality of sleep was much lower. But 6 fricking packs? Sounds like a miserable existence.
2 packs a day is for hardcore smokers only, 6 sounds like absolute bullshit you would puke your guts out all day long
>"[...] at the rehearsal for 'The Greatest Story Ever Told’, The Duke, playing the Roman soldier who speared Jesus on the cross, said rather flatly: 'Truly he was the son of God'. the director said: 'Not like that, say it with awe!' Obligingly Wayne repeated his line: 'Aw, truly he was the son of God.'"
Wayne was so fricking bad in that line delivery that I laughed out loud when I saw it in the movie
PLAYBOY: In your distaste for socialism, aren't you overlooking the fact that many
worthwhile and necessary government services—such as Social Security and Medicare—
derived from essentially socialistic programs evolved during the Thirties?
WAYNE: I know all about that. In the late Twenties, when I was a sophomore at USC, I
was a socialist myself—but not when I left. The average college kid idealistically wishes
everybody could have ice cream and cake for every meal. But as he gets older and gives
more thought to his and his fellow man's responsibilities, he finds that it can't work out
that way—that some people just won't carry their load.
>worthwhile and necessary government services—such as Social Security and Medicare
lel
Is there a smuggie image macro for the liberals'
>war is sickening no more war american fascism no blood for oil
>heh didn't want to sign up to die for OUR GREAT COUNTRY huh we call them cowards and unpatriotic around these parts son!
Because it happens too frequently for there not to be one made.
There’s nothing wrong with showcasing the weaknesses of character, cowardice and hypocrisy in Wayne who painted himself as a man’s man patriot and was so pro-war that he literally directed a pro-Vietnam propaganda movie.
Sarah Gadon is queen of Cinemaphile
I love Sarah Gadon
PLAYBOY: Many militant blacks would argue that they have it better almost anywhere
else. Even in Hollywood, they feel that the color barrier is still up for many kinds of jobs.
Do you limit the number of blacks you use in your pictures?
WAYNE: Oh, Christ no. I've directed two pictures and I gave the blacks their proper
position. I had a black slave in The Alamo, and I had a correct number of blacks in The
Green Berets. If it's supposed to be a black character, naturally I use a black actor. But I
don't go so far as hunting for positions for them. I think the Hollywood studios are
carrying their tokenism a little too far. There's no doubt that 10 percent of the population
is black, or colored, or whatever they want to call themselves; they certainly aren't
Caucasian. Anyway, I suppose there should be the same percentage of the colored race in
films as in society. But it can't always be that way. There isn't necessarily going to be 10
percent of the grips or sound men who are black, because more than likely, 10 percent
haven't trained themselves for that type of work.
PLAYBOY: Can blacks be integrated into the film industry if they are denied training
and education?
WAYNE: It's just as hard for a white man to get a card in the Hollywood craft unions.
PLAYBOY: That's hardly the point, but let's change the subject. For years American
Indians have played an important—if subordinate—role in your Westerns. Do you feelany empathy with them?
WAYNE: I don't feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them, if that's
what you're asking. Our so-called stealing of this country from them was just a matter of
survival. There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were
selfishly trying to keep it for themselves.
PLAYBOY: What kind of films do you consider perverted?
WAYNE: Oh, Easy Rider, Midnight Cowboy—that kind of thing. Wouldn't you say that
the wonderful love of those two men in Midnight Cowboy, a story about two gays,
qualifies? But don't get me wrong. As far as a man and a woman is concerned, I'm
awfully happy there's a thing called sex. It's an extra something God gave us. I see no
reason why it shouldn't be in pictures. Healthy, lusty sex is wonderful.
It takes me an average of 5 minutes to smoke a cig. 6 packs is 120 cigarettes, meaning 10 hours of smoking a day. I don't believe him, probably PR for his tough guy image. 4 seems more likely (which is pretty bad too).
Thank you for posting his PB interview kind anon.
you are welcome friend
PLAYBOY: Many pessimists insist that our nation has lost its dignity and is headed
toward self-destruction. Some, in fact, compare the condition of our society to the decline
and fall of the Roman Empire and the last days of Sodom and Gomorrah. Are you that
gloomy about the future of America?
WAYNE: Absolutely not. I think that the loud roar of irresponsible liberalism, which in
the old days we called radicalism, is being quieted down by a reasoning public. I think
the pendulum's swinging back. We're remembering that the past can't be so bad. We built
a nation on it. We must also look always to the future. Tomorrow—the time that gives a
man or a country just one more chance—is just one of many things that I feel are
wonderful in life. So's a good horse under you. Or the only campfire for miles around. Or
a quiet night and a nice soft hunk of ground to sleep on. Or church bells sending out their
invitations. A mother meeting her first-born. The sound of a kid calling you Dad for the
first time. There's a lot of things great about life. But I think tomorrow is the most
important thing. Comes in to us at midnight very clean, ya know. It's perfect when it
arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.
As a country, our yesterdays tell us that we have to win not only at war but at peace. So
far we haven't done that. Sadly, it looks like we'll have to win another war to win a peace.
All I can hope is that in our anxiety to have peace, we remember our clear and present
dangers and beware the futility of compromise; only if we keep sight of both will we
have a chance of stumbling forward into a day when there won't be guns fired anymore in
anger.
He couldn't actually do that, he had scenes to film that required no smoking. Sorry to ruin your little fun fact with a little logic.
Do most people have severe anxiety issues or something and need to smoke or do other kinds of drugs to calm down? I think that's so bizarre because even people who you don't think would have anxiety issues still need that stuff to help calm them down. Why not just eliminate stressful factors from your life and focus on relaxation as much as possible? It's way more healthy.
maybe less people smoke now but more people are on drugs than ever. almost every adult is on xanax or some bullshit they don't need.
>Why not just eliminate stressful factors from your life
life is the stressful factor.
Sure, that's why you focus on controlling your emotions and relaxing as much as possible. I get stressed and anxious sometimes. It's a normal part of life, but I don't need drugs to function. I just think it's funny that people who you think are completely normal in public are nervous wrecks in private.
It's an addiction, you fricking moron.
>addiction
No such thing. You are just weak and lack will power
That's not how that works.
If I had you in a coma on a daily dose of heroin for a few weeks, then woke you up, and told you that this medicine I have will make you feel better (not letting you know it was heroin), administered it, and then gave you a bunch of it to take home, you'd be taking it like a fiend and have an incredibly difficult time kicking it, if you even wanted to at all.
And even if you did kick it, that wouldn't disprove that you were addicted to begin with. Nor does the fact that others go through this process consciously and, at least at first willingly, prove that addiction is merely a lack of will power.
While I do agree with you for the most part, you can straight up die from withdrawal when it involves alcohol or benzodiazepines.
How do you think addictions start?
You don't necessarily have those issues to begin with, but some people discover intoxicants and just get used to the routine. The most basic example would be coffee/caffeine. For all intents and purposes, human beings do not struggle to wake up, yet how many people do you know who say something along the lines of "I need a cup of coffee before I get going"?
A pack a day is hard already. I quit two years ago, but I never smoked more than a pack.
John Wayne was a gay and a draft dodger
Probably a crypto commie too
I smoked for 17 years, I vape now because cigarettes are too expensive and I still can't imagine smoking that much mind you I was smoking a pouch of tobacco every 2 days
I'm a smoker but that seems overkill. May as well install a backwards chimney into your room.
Damn. No wonder he's dead.
Oppenheimer killed him
>wayne sucks because he didn't kill europeans for the ZOG
you libtoids are deranged
Wayne was in his mid 30s and already a movie star when the war started practically speaking he was more useful to the war effort cranking out films to improve morale then he would have been as infantry.
