Meyer if you need help with the link, let me know, I'll show you how to
copy and paste.


Wayne played Wayne for a long long time. People liked him for who he
played on screen and for his persona off screen. He seemed larger than
life. Hell, I liked him; I thought he was a pretty good actor. I liked
Charlton Heston, too, until he lost his mind with the National Rifle
Association. Heston, in my opinion, was a better actor than Wayne.

I don't really give a **** whether Wayne was in the military. Being in
the military only means you were in the military. It doesn't mean that
you are a good person or a bad person.
