He wasn't a liberal, but that's no reason to demean him. He most
certainly attempted to enlist at the start of WWII, but was turned down
for a shoulder injury, age (34) and family status (4 children). He did
all he could to support the military through the USO and other efforts.
He was honored with the Congressional Gold Medal for his effort


Superpatriot who never fought but led people to believe he did.

His earache was a shoudler injury? Someone else told me it was a knee injury
from his football days. Age of 34 when? How old was David Niven, Douglas
Fairbanks, the host of others who went in, regardless of their fame and
fortune?

Why didn't people who actually fought, or at least participated in the military
effort away from the comforts of home and family, get similar awards?

Was it because they didn't attack the antiwar views of the '60s and early '70s?

Wayne was a hawk when it was safe for him to be a hawk.
