I have to agree with you on this. Lee Marvin was an actual war vet, but in John Wayne's defense, he did all he could to try military service. He was not accepted to Annapolis and tried to enlist during WWII but he was too old and the movie studios wouldn't let him. He did a ton of USO tours though.
My favorite WWII movie: The Great Escape
