Didnāt mean to step on anyoneās hero.
Actors aren't heroes.
With a few exceptions... Like Audie Murphy, Jimmy Stewart, Lee Marvin, Capt. Kangaroo, and a few others.
Yep.
Profound.
Charles Durning and I believe Charles Bronson, James Arness and maybe James Garner, David Niven, ,
Sterling Hayden, USMC and OSS. Service behind German lines, in Europe.
Aldo Ray, US Navy, UDT, a "Frogman." Service against Japs in South Pacific.
Clark Gable, Eighth Air Force, Waist Gunner, B17s, over Germany. One kill.
Jack Warden, Paratrooper, 101st Abn. Div.
Paul Newman, US Navy, rear gunner on Torpedo planes, South Pacific.
Eddie Albert, US Navy, pilot on a landing craft, South Pacific.

By the way, FWIW, Capt. Kangaroo was never in combat.
