He is a Jimmy Stewart kinda of guy. In a John Wayne world. We need a Duke to kill our enemies. Not a dud to placate them.

In real life, in WW2, Jimmy Stewart was a bomber pilot, who flew 20 combat missions, and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, among other decorations.

Meanwhile, tough guy John Wayne sat out the war making movies.

Years ago, I remember watching a show on bomber pilots and they had “James Stewart” as one of the people interviewed. My Dad told me it was “the” Jimmy Stewart.

He served in the most dangerous service doing the most dangerous job.

John Wayne made movies.
