Fun fact:a nickname for PTSD after Vietnam was,”John Wayne Syndrome”,because he made war look way too glamorous,and then all the teens who went over would always literally say,”This ain’t no John Wayne Movie”
Could kinda see that happening. John Wayne stepping up to R. Lee Emery. Emery being in awe for a moment and then they would share a beer together. So cool that Emery backed up when the Duke arrives. Tells me that that even Emery had a lot of respect for Wayne. Even if it is staged. You can't fake the respect in his eyes
