During WW2 Wood was serving with USMC. He and several thousand of his fellow marines were dropped off on an island and told to take it. When the battle was over he was one of only a couple of hundred marines to have survived.
I always think about that story when I read those "worst director" ever things.
Still, even with non-existent budgets, Wood was still able to make very enjoyable films, a testament, no doubt, to his creative genius.
