The actor John Wayne was a draft-dodger. During WW2 he hid- out in Mexico, attempting to jumpstart his faltering career, and he fell for a knockout actress. To join the US military probably would have doomed his chance at making a cinematic comeback, and he would have had to forsake his new found romance.


Ronald Reagan began his political career as a snitch. As head of the Screen Actors Guild, he supplied the FBI with the names of suspected "Reds." These were his collegues and friends, and most were innocent yet many had their careers ruined.

President Reagan gave the American worker one thing- the whip.
