I think he was just old enough. He joined at the tail end of the war. In fact, I don't think he quite made it overseas before the war ended. But still, he tried to do his part.

While John Wayne was a good classic movie Actor he was horrible in that movie. He had no emotion what so ever at all. I remember the scene where a soldier gets wounded and John Wayne in a complete monotonal voice with no emotions goes "Someone get this man a medic." In real life he would have screamed "MEDIC, MEDIC, WE HAVE A MAN DOWN, GET A MEDIC!" In combat there is emotion, trust me I know.

You know i actually remember that part. Its like he didnt even care. But i think he did a good job in Sands of Iwo Jima. He had some emotion and felt bad when the Marines he knew got killed.

I think he had the same emotion in all of his war movies. He was better suited for westerns than war movies.
