Just after I registered for the draft in 1967, this propaganda film came-out. Starring a WWII draft dodger. Someoe in another review wrote that Wayne was 4F. Just like so many myths about Wayne, this one is a baldfaced lie. Wayne obtained 3-A status, deferred for dependency reasons. Yup, that's right, Mr. America hid behind the skirt of his wife. Wayne was like like Bush, Chaney and all the other chicken hawks. They had connections and got out of the war. As Chaney once said, going to Nam wasn't in his career path. Apparently, it wasn't in Wayne's either. Yet, they either start or promote wars for other people's kids to die in. My generation laughed this movie off as an inept cartoon. How anyone could take it seriously is beyond me. Perhaps someone who's never been to war?
