At the time of Pearl Harbor he was to old to get drafted. He was interested in enlisting and wrote several letters to John Ford asking he could join his unit but he was the sole provider for his family, who would suffer if he had left so he was unable to join the military.
@@genghiskhan7041 He was refused by his government and told he could be of greater benefit through generating war bond sales and government propaganda movies.
@@neverpc4404 No, he wasn't "refused" by the government. Wayne was a draft dodging coward. Even his friend John Ford called him a coward for dodging serving.
"I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them." John Wayne as J.B Books The Shootist
@@qualityman1965 John Wayne had no real power. They would be more likely to kill Elon or even Rush Limbaugh if he were still alive. That being said I agree with you that I would not be surprised at anyone they decided to take out, even us for posting here.
I want to teach my daughter The Lord's prayer. That's one of the nicest things I've ever heard John Wayne say. My dad love this man too as I love this man also. But I would have to say it's more than just that I love his movies. I love what he represented. The best that America and Heaven has to offer. Even if these things are ideals from having Heaven is real God is real Yeshua is real. And John Wayne might say this, you're done right it's real. One of the best things ever written in America and it pertains to all things I believe and it is this, we hold these truths to be self-evident. Thank you for posting. God bless stay well stay safe.
What do you mean "what's going on right now"? The corruption and treason of a lying, narcistic psychopath like Donald Trump? Wayne wouldn't have supported Joe Biden, but after what happened on Jan. 6, 2021, I can't imagine he would blindly support Trump.
@@jknuttel Wait, what did you just post? Hahahahhahahahahhhahahahah......wait, seriously did you really mean what you said or ...ah! It's a joke! Good One! Hahahaahaha lmao!
How misguided can you be? Trumps only love is himself……end of story! If you love your country, you don’t get your daddy to get some doctor to make up a BS medical report about your feet because you can’t use student deferments after you have graduated to stop you being drafted to fight for your country!
Great Clip!.. Thanks for sharing, exactly what I needed to hear! God Bless "The Several Union States of America" John Wayne was a legend because he was sovereign ie "The King In His Own Space"
Mr. J. Wayne, an American treasure and Patriot. A time when Men knew they were Men & Women knew they were Women and both genders were happy about it ! The silliness of the "trans trend" today would have the Duke shaking his head.
"We can get a Congress that will accept its responsibilities and its duties and not brush off all decisions on the executive and then just sit back and whine when that executive or the judicial branch takes more power than they deserve or are entitled to." Holy shit its like Wayne was foreshadowing the current period we are in NOW or is speaking to us from the grave! Spooky given some recent Supreme Court decisions and what the executive has done as of late!
this nation is getting more and more empty ; we have lost so many people in the passing of years ; J F K ; M L K ; Ronald Reagan ; john wayne ; robin williams ; whitney houston ; bing crosby ; elvis presley ; norma jean ; Cassius Clay Jr ; bettie page ; Elizabeth Taylor ; andy worhol ; rhonda white ; Charlie Robinson ; Frank Silvera ; Yvonne De Carlo ; yma sumac and so much more R.I.P one and all
Lol, you know 1968 America was an even more racist country right? And yet America has always had the thick skin to kidnap such values as "freedom" and "human rights" every year of its illegal existence.
seems strange that they don't seem to be paying much attention to him...a lot of milling around...etc...this really is a great speech, short and precise....and very insightful, emphasizing congress...knowing that it's the last hope of reigning in the Executive and Judicial branch...when they try to exercise power that they do not have...
the reason the crowd isn't compelled to listen is because what you are refusing to see is that this speech is an incoherent jumble of words that have no meaning; they don't speak to anyone then, now, or before. He is trying to make it like the election of Nixon v Humphrey was a real thing, as if it were legitimate. Because it was not a legitimate government then, by then, and now they have to try and put their cap (Trump) to crown the lot, but I say to you. Good luck little child, get in line and pray. Talk to yourself in your own mind, and that will be your ticket. Good for you. I say, because nothing else will do any good. You're acting in bad faith if you say John Wayne was anything but an incoherent sop of drivel in this speech.
United States of America...... what a country; all you 350m, you are so lucky. America is a serious and proper country, and the democracy and checks on balances is perfect. You may be doubting the situation given the crisis now, but from outside it looks like one of the finest countries in the world could go under because of these silly culture wars. And this is aimed at the MAGA crowd because that behaviour is just.... nuts.
He smoked 5 packs of Camel studs a day. He quit after he had a lung out in 1964. His very first appearance after that operation was a cameo on The Beverly Hillbillies and you can really see the toll it took on him. It was stomach cancer that killed him. But it was attributed not to the smoking, but to a set location in Utah in 1956 where the bomb had been previously tested. Out of 220 cast and crew members at that location, 91 contracted cancer and 46 of them died from it.
I thought it made perfect sense and was very straight forward and plainly spoken, unlike a lot of politicians who have a very contrived way of saying things.
There is no political party that cares. Unless we're talking about how they care about their cronies, kickbacks, and bribes. Politicians are greedy, narcissistic, and evil. It doesn't matter to which party they belong.
A war hawk who had the nerve to make a film about the Green Barets near real combats zones during the Vietnam conflict....while real men were dying he makes himself a hero in a movie....the man was a complete jerk !....
@@russellgay5337 I dont spend my life pretending i would ,unlike Wayne!. Jimmy Stewart was same age and had kids yet he flew 20+ combat missions !!.Wayne was just a coward plain and simple fact .
@@lifelongbachelor3651 no Racist, a staunch bigot at that, his comments on native Americans and blacks is disgusting and if you want to excuse this by saying he was a product of his time, I give you Marlon Brando
@@lifelongbachelor3651 Truthsayer??😂😂 You mean gutless clown 🤡 even the other big "hero" of the day, Joe DiMaggio found a way to serve in ww2 albeit in Hawaii for 3 years. Next!
