[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1482168, member: 27490"] Garry Wills - Garry Wills is an American author, journalist, and historian, specializing in American history, politics, and religion, especially the history of the Catholic Church. He won a Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction in 1993. John Wayne: “[b]He was, in reality, a draft dodger. America’s archetypal soldier was in fact a chicken hawk. He was a cheerleader and champion of militaristic patriotism and combat he had never experienced. Wayne had ‘other priorities’ during WWII—achieving superstardom (and saving his neck) was more important than defeating fascism. Much like Vice President Dick Cheney, who sought numerous deferments during the Vietnam War, Wayne was the quintessential war wimp.”[/b] John Wayne learned as much on USO tours in Australia and throughout the Pacific where he was greeted by boos from war hardened vets.
