As I recall, Stewart was a bonafide war hero, and even attained very high rank (General?).
Stewart gained weight for the privilege of taking his chance of taking a flak shell
on his underside while flying (a B-17, IIRC) over WWII Europe.
He did retire at some level of the grade of General.
And I remember hearing him talk about the loss of his adopted son (from his wife's
first marriage) in Vietnam.
What struck me was that he said while it was a sad thing that his son died young,
it was NOT a tragedy.
He said the son died leading his men and doing his duty...and that can't
really be a tragedy.
(Made a big impression on me, given how I was a confused pre-teen during most of Vietnam.)

Why, thank you! I don't believe I've ever been told that before.
