If you want to be flamed, you'll need more than that. Post a few paragraphs expressing why you think that is true and you will get the real flames. Otherwise, you are not worth the time.

Hey man, I've got the upcoming PBS special to back me up. Can anybody tell me truthfully that he was anything besides a pretty boy actor who supported GOP causes? I didn't think so. Notice I didn't say he was a bad man, a buffoon, or a scumbag. Just a poser.

Activist supporting the troops in Vietnam. He visited the troops there and put his career on the line in making "The Green Berets". Many reports of him confronting anti-war protestors. One such account had him wading through an anti-war mob to remove a North Vietnamese flag that they were flying. At the time, he was with Jimmy Stewart who's son had just been killed in Nam.

Just a poser.

That is false, very false.

Pretty boy poser you say. We are not talking about Ben Afleck, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt for god's sake. We are talking about John Wayne dammitt. This man was gigantic with more testosterone in one pinky finger than you and the Hollywood prettyboy rugrats could hope to ever possess in your whole entire life. The man personified manhood. There has never been anyone since who remotely comes close, period! (IMHO that is). And what exactly do you mean you have this PBS special to back you up. Have you seen it yet?
