"Trumbo" Lies about John Wayne

For some reason, the movie makes John Wayne (who was just an actor) into some sort of Godfather figure who could blacklist or grant absolution at will. Of course, it was the Producers and Studio Execs who enforced the blacklist.

A False Trumbo vs. Wayne Exchange
We even get a ridiculous snarky attack on John Wayne for "Dodging the Draft". The conversation between make-believe Wayne and Trumbo reads like a liberal nerd's wet dream. Trumbo says to Wayne:

"You [Wayne] talk a lot about the war.  I [Trumbo] was a War Corespondent on Okinawa...Eddie Robinson was in Europe with the Office of War Information. Where did you serve?  If you're going to act like you - John Wayne -won WW II personally, where were you stationed? On a movie set, wearing make-up and shooting blanks? And if you're going to hit me, let me take my glasses off. "

In reality, John Wayne "served" four months in the South Pacific in 1944, touring military bases, visiting hospitals, and entertaining the troops.

Which was more then Trumbo did.

Trumbo spent almost all of WW2 in Hollywood making money - as did Eddie Robinson. Neither was in the military. Trumbo spent 8 weeks in June/July 1945, touring military bases/ hospitals and viewing a landing in Borneo.  He only spent four days on Okinawa  - after the fighting was over!  He was no Ernie Pyle. As for E.G. Robinson, from 1942-1945, he made more movies than John Wayne.  In  1944, he did some broadcasts from London (not Europe) and then entertained the troops in France.
