“”Andrew may be a useless taxpayer’s vampire, but he actually fought in a war.
UNLIKE the ‘great’ John Wayne,who did everything to avoid service.””
Wrong. He was rejected from service due to poor eyesight. He attempted to join twice.
Sorry, but John Wayne’s injuries are a myth.
Historian Garry Wills has shredded much of them in his 1990’s bio of Wayne.And the BBC did an interesting documentary on Wayne in 2001 which uncovered evidence that he stayed in Mexico post-PH, and lobbied his studio to get himself a deferment. Errol Flynn also did the same in Dec/early Jan 42.
As to injuries, the reason was supposed to be his back, which Wills proves was perfectly fine. And studio medical forms both Wills and the BBC uncovered show his eyes and everything else to be fine.
