The use of the term “play-acting” of course lends itself to my belief that you have contempt for John Wayne.

Rubbish!

I refer you again to this paragraph in a previous reply #9:

"More than six decades later I still vividly remember a wide eyed kid bedazzled in a movie theater by John Wayne's performance in, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon . His trilogy under John Ford of the American West remains a classic of the American cinema. True Grit Remains a wonderful movie and Wayne's acting rightly deserved an Oscar. The Quiet Man is a timeless treasure which nearly 70 years later remains a nearly perfect movie that was almost never made. John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara in that movie were superb, John Ford pulled it off again in directing this nostalgic look at old Ireland."

You just won't stop, will you?

who think he was a draft dodger (which you certainly implied)

That is an outrageous allegation. I said no such thing. If you want to make a point at least get the facts right for a change and refrain from baseless misrepresentations.

You cannot seem to understand that film has nothing to do with reality.

That has been the point of every one of my replies in this thread and you well know it.

If you would stop posting to me, I would have no need to respond. I stand by everything I wrote. Now let’s move on to another subject.
