    Right you are Marlin. And the positive effect his movies had on the morale of our troops - especially during the Vietnam conflict more than made up for his never getting to serve.

    That was a cop out. In '44 he was classified 2a, a month later the S.S. reclassified him 1a, shortly after his studio managed to get em switched back to 2a (his poor knee, or was it his back, or was a bad ear?) Kind of funny seeing how he use to pride himself on doing his own stunts. He was a draft dodger.

    He may have done this or that, but he pussied out and didnt serve because he was worried about his career. Screw him and his cowardice.
    This is why I refuse to watch his movies and have a never enjoyed them
