Mike, They did the same thing with Reagan. They put him in movies about everything from security to VD prevention. Hey, but the guy served, so I tip my hat to him. Guys like Ted Williams, too. Top of his game and he just joins up and from what I understand, saw a lot of action. I guess Duke could have served, though he would have been a bit long in the tooth at 34-35 years old. But Reagan was about the same age.

Re Clark Gable. Hermann Goering put a $5000 bounty on his head. He was a gunner for the Eight Air Force. He flew missions too. geocities.com Soon after his arrival, the enemy dimmed Gable's hopes, if he had any, of refuge from stardom with Nazi radio propaganda broadcaster Lord Haw Haw's greeting: "Welcome to England, Hatcher's Chickens, among whom is the famous American cinema star, Clark Gable. We'll be seeing you soon in Germany, Clark." As unnerving as this was, Hermann Goering offered to reward any Luftwaffe pilot who downed his B-17. Such an honor, not confined to Gable, was less thought-provoking than talk that he was a favorite of Hitler's; or, stranger still, distantly related to Joseph Goebbels. "How can I hide with this face?" he exclaimed to Mahin. "If I ever fall into Hitler's hands the son of a bitch will put me in a cage like a big gorilla. He'd exhibit me all over Germany" "If the plane goes down," he concluded, "I'll just go with the son of a bitch."
