No wonder movies used to be so much better and now suck.

Dennis Hopper was one of the elderly members of the 60s left youth movement - along with Jane Fonda. I think he turned Republican later in life. Arthur Godfrey was in the Naval Reserves prior to WWII but was too old to serve. He did serve in the 20s, though.

AWESOME post!
Great info regarding patriot faves - heartwarming, on this Memorial Day.

Setting aside the matter of former Hollywood heroes for a second, it was a time when Hollywood seemed to comprise Americans with brains as well as patriotic spirit.

Strange that Clark Gable didn't make the list. He flew on 5 combat missions.
To: Karl Spooner
I thought I put him in. And I think he flew 18, shot at everytime. Can’t remember everyone.

I re-watched many WW II films this weekend and there wasn’t a sex scene or F-bomb in any of them. Who knew they could do that?
