WI: Soviet agents assassinate John Wayne

That would totally rock!:cool:

It would also silence his critics regarding how he'd never served in WWII.

Despite the fact that he was 3A for being married with four children, too old by Pearl Harbor (34), had no skills of military value (they were keeping the horses home in WWII:rolleyes:), and was threatened with banishment from Hollywood if he tried to walk away from his contract.:mad:

"Well, pilgrims, I may not have fought in WWII, but I'd say I just may have fired the first shots of WWIII, and right in my own homestead!":cool:
 
What if the Duke get the drop on 'em and guns 'em down?:p

Given that most NKVD assassins were Russian Civil War or Great Patriotic War veterans and the Duke had never fired a gun or raised a fist in real combat & indeed dodged the draft in WW2 due to his studeo's insistance (he didnt fight them on it though).

I say Mr Wayne sans a team of very skilled bodyguards dies very quickly, just like the countless poor bastards who suffered from ''John Wayne syndrome'' & died in combat during WW2 because of it.:rolleyes:

"That's just the type of thinking that led that assassin to be so overconfident that he got himself killed!";)

When JOhn Wayne dies of cancer, he gets a holiday, and cigarettes get outlawed!

My source saying he did fight them on it was Wikipedia:rolleyes:, so... What's your source that he didn't fight them on it?:confused:

Uh, he didn't die from smoking cigarettes, whatever he may have thought or his doctors may have told him. He died from radiation exposure due to filming a movie on location too close to an above ground atomic test:eek: (they were assured by the government that they'd be alright:rolleyes::mad:). Pretty much everyone filming on location in that movie died of cancer (including Agnes Morehead).:(
