Hollywood supported WWII because we were fighting alongside “Papa” Joe Stalin - even though we knew he was more genocidal than Hitler.

Yup, I always knew John Wayne was a commie bastard.

Ok, I’ll play along.

Why did Hollywood oppose EVERY OTHER WAR we’ve been in? Why the “PApa Joe” treatment? Why was there an “Second Front” movement to help the Soviet Union?

Don’t forget, but in Korea and Vietnam we were fighting AGAINST communism, so there goes Hollywood’s support. WWII wasn’t for the survival of the US it was to aid and abet the USSR and to create world government.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad we won and I’m glad we kicked some booty-booty. I even want to buy an M1 Garand rifle.

And John Wayne was an independent filmmaker who had control over production - he wasn’t just an actor but a pretty brilliand guy in many ways. I’ve seen most of his movies and have read two biographies on the man - he was much more complex than his critics claim.

Don’t be fooled.
