The Duke's "non-military" service was, and continues to be, the left's favorite stab toward John Wayne.

As stated in this thread; by Redleg Duke, cantonsville, Non-Sequitur, you and others, the facts of John Waynes' deferment for military service are ignored and distorted. It's how the anti-American left functions...their days are numbered. The Duke never "shirked" sh#t!

As an aside, imho, the best tome on the Duke is "John Wayne American" by James S. Olson & Randy W. Roberts.

I do not believe the left would find fault with the Duke for not serving, in fact they would welcome such action. What they really hated was the wonderful and powerful job that he did in portraying what an American military man should be and what patriotism means. What they despise the most is pro Amercanism.
