Considering that you started out your long-winded posts by talking about what you perceive as John Wayne avoiding the draft, I wouldn’t take too seriously what you think of John Wayne, the art of moving making or acting or even horsies. After all, you pattern yourself after a guy who had what? 11 horses shot out from under him?
If I remember correctly Wayne was actually medically unfit due to the knee injury he got playing football at USC. In fact I read somewhere that Wyatt Earp of all people while teaching Wayne “Cowboy” mannerisms to improve his acting career potential. Helped Wayne develop his distinctive walk to cover up a limp due to the bad knee. Did Wayne take advantage of the other actors being gone to advance his career. I would say yes but more by just being there and available then by any positive action on his part.
1.
long-winded posts I don't feel winded it all.
2.avoiding the draft
Be careful,I never said he avoided the draft I said he didn't serve- a real and substantial difference.
3.I wouldn’t take too seriously what you think
I only hope the reader take seriously what I say and whether my facts are correct compared to your uninformed equestrian assumptions.
4. you pattern yourself after a guy
I don't pattern myself after Nathan Bedford Forrest or anyone else. I simply use his avatar. My thoughts are my own, not served up to me by Hollywood.
5.11 horses shot out from under him
Whereas John Wayne had his shot out from under him when he was play acting in True Grit. That says it all about those who distinguish reality from make-believe and those who do not.
