So, what was the story with John Wayne and WWII

That is one of the reasons I never cared for that guy.
He claimed a football injury. I know people who served
in WWII with major problems. A second cousin was
almost tatally blind in one eye and served in Italy during
the war

I've also read that Wayne was exempted because of his family status--he had two or three kids and he was the sole provider. I could be wrong.
