He was never eligible for the draft as he was 34 when the USA entered WWII. Plus he was already married and had a family meaning he would not be included in any draft at the time

I don't know if he knew about this in time to have told Wayne about it, but it seems that John Wayne did actively try to get involved in WWII but the people in his life didn't want him doing anything but making money

Pathetic
I don't like wayne
he always tried to play some ultimate tough guy when he was just tall and lanky
the way the rock has it in his contract that he cant lose a fight, seems like something wayne would do
>he always tried to play some ultimate tough guy when he was just tall and lanky
He played a lot of tough guys because he was good at playing the tough guy. Part of the reason he became an icon though is because he didn't take himself too seriously. Most of his movies include a fair amount of comedy and poking fun at himself, and practically everyone he ever worked with said he was the nicest and most down-to-earth man they'd ever met.
>he always tried to play some ultimate tough guy
He starred in mostly westerns and war movies so he's going to play some tough characters but there's always a good bit of humor to balance it out
was very surprised to learn he wore a hairpiece for most of his life
why could they make them so real looking 50 years ago then but we have shit like picrel today?
>Douglas continued: “Afterward, he motioned to me to go out on the veranda with him, and he berated me!

We should never play those kind of weak, sniveling characters. I don’t ever want to see you in a part like that again! They have no dignity!'” >john Wayne talking to Kirk Douglass after he played van gogh

He couldn't cum unless he had something in his ass, and have you heard his fricking lisp? Seen his walk? Marlon Brando was straighter and there's pictorial evidence of him sucking a Black person's dick.

I don't think that's true
I think its because he breathed more cigarette smoke than oxygen. Didnt he smoke like 4 packs a day?
The guy smoked and drank like crazy and this was his second fight with cancer, the first resulting in him losing a lung. It's amazing that he made it to 72.
Pussy ass draft dodger that pretended to be a tough guy.

that's definitely bullshit but I love it as an origin story.

>trying to atone for not dying for israel
they really do have goyim totally brainwashed
Does it occur to you the demoralisation effect A list celebrities dying in combat would have on the entire military shit for brains?
david niven
alec guinness
jimmy stewart
clark gable
all served, the military wasn't stupid and kept them out of harm's way for the most part
>alec guinness
that was different, England was facing an existential threat. USA was just protecting some overseas investments.
explain stewart and gable
errol flynn tried to join the US Army but his health was too bad
If Errol Flynn was allowed in the army, half of Europe would be unable to breed in 20 years because they'd all be related.
>flynn gets sent to occupied germany
>rapes more teenage girls than the red army
Audie Murphy was one of the most decorated.
The little midget had more balls than most of you ever will put together.

Clark Gable "served" but he was well taken care of and didn't have the obligations of the standard enrollee.
Gable almost died to a flack shell that almost hit his head in a bombing mission over germany, two of the guys in his plane were killed in this mission.
He did partake in bombing missions, and eventually got pulled off the line for one close call too many
Hitler himself put a bounty on him.
Douglas Fairbanks jr got up to some real commando shit in the war
Wayne fought on the only front that mattered.
>draft dodger
He was never eligible for the draft as he was 34 when the USA entered WWII. Plus he was already married and had a family meaning he would not be included in any draft at the time
how come clark gable was 6 years older and still served?

IMO Ford didn't help him to enlist because he wanted him to do it at his own will whitout any help.

Pathetic
It seems that he did enlist and was accepted, he just wasn't aware of his acceptance because his harpy wife hid the letter from him.
Yeah, he probably got cold feet to join, he also had a perfect excuse not to join (4F).
WTF?!
Sticky now!
I feel like every thread about John Wayne or even Ford has some anon that hates Wayne and calls him a sissy gay.

you are up to say "Black person" but not "homosexual?
>How can John Wayne die?
>The fricking indians got him
Is that you, John Wayne? Is this me?
huh?
israel hadn't even been invented yet

Wayne Was Based.He was a staunch Anti-Communist. Hollywood has gotten more homosexual filled as a result of his passing.

+1 for dead cumskin storage
John Wayne was based. Men were better back then, even the average ones.
John Wayne was gay.
>He had five kids!!!
He couldn't cum unless he had something in his ass, and have you heard his fricking lisp? Seen his walk? Marlon Brando was straighter and there's pictorial evidence of him sucking a Black person's dick.

I think I'll either die at 60 or live to 90, no in between.
He was a good guy

harriet tubman dodged slavery and that was cool/heroic

Regularly think about this image of Welles after being deemed ineligable for the draft. You can tell he doesn't know how to feel.
why ineligible? too fat?
>The question of Welles’ ability to serve was put to rest in the spring of 1943 when he was classified as 4-F following an Army physical. Later, it was revealed that myoditis (skeletal muscle inflammation), bronchial asthma, arthritis and inverted flat feet were among the medical reasons cited for his 4-F classification.
he's burning in hell as we speak for all the racist shit he did to native americans
John Wayne spread God's word to a savage continent. He's got a spot next to Jesus.
