James Stewart did more than “serve as a colonel” in the USAAF. He was a decorated pilot who flew combat missions over Europe, one of the most dangerous jobs of the war. He retired as a USAF Reserve Brigadier General in 1960 I think. As for Sammy Davis, Jr. what did he do, because it’s not a job “to endure racism” and diminishes whatever his service was by limiting it. Thousands of black Americans served in WW2 and they all, to some extent, faced racism whether they were Tuskegee Airmen escorting bombers over Europe or crewing Sherman tanks at the Battle of the Bulge. I think they would be more proud of their service than of “enduring racism.”

That is so true. He flew a B-17 bomber over Germany including Berlin, while being shot at by German fighters, and anti-aircraft guns. He did not have to do that, but he volunteered for it. He saw a lot of bomber crews being killed. I believe he was promoted to Brigadier General in the U.S. Army Air Force, the highest military rank for any American actor before and since. Some people say he became “darker” in his personality and in his acting, but he did produce his best works in Movies after the end of WW2. He served as a crew member in a B-29 bomber during the Vietnam War.

Audie Murphy was a soldier first that then became an actor. He was a real badass! His dad left him and the family early in life and he dropped out of school in the 5th grade to get jobs working in the crop fields to support his mom and 11 other siblings. He falsified his age so that he could enlist at the age of 17. He is credited with killing almost 250 enemy soldiers and wind every US and many foreign military awards during WWII. He received three Purple Hearts for battlefield injuries! Like I said, a real badass!

There's a nice story about James Stewart. When he was a colonel on an airbase in Britain, he walked into one crew's hut and, without saying a word, moved aside a pile of coats, to reveal a keg of beer. Still without saying a word, he poured himself a glass and drank it. He then got up to leave. As he reached the door, he turned and said, "By the way, I'm told that a keg of beer's been stolen from the mess. You guys wouldn't know anything about that, would you?" One of the crew answered, "No, sir." "I thought not," said Stewart, and left.

Samuel Fuller is missing on this list I think, but I'll never forget the interview I saw with him on French TV where he shared some of his memories of landing on Omaha Beach, describing in a tone that would have fit Humphrey Bogart, the conflicting emotions - fear and anticipation, pain and resolve - that poured trough him on that day. The talk was interlaced with footage from the D-day scenes of his 1980 film Big Red One, based on his war memories (probably the most ruthless, realistic attempt at recreating this on the screen before Saving Private Ryan). I had never heard anyone talking quite like that about their participation in a major WW2 battle, I was sixteen and on my first visit to France - it's a memory that will remain with me forever.

Interesting way on how you can connect The Addams Family to NCIS to Marvel Comics. Charles Addams created The Addams Family. During WW2,he was an officer in the US Army Signal Corps creating morale and propaganda posters. One of the soldiers under his command was Stan Lee who founded Marvel Comics and Spider Man. Jackie Coogan played Uncle Fester on TV 'S "The Addams Family". During WW2,he served as a glider pilot in the China Burma India Theater. Tom Harmon is Mark Harmon's father. During WW2,Tom Harmon served in the USAAF as a fighter pilot in the China Burma India Theater. Mark Harmon played Leroy Jethro Gibbs on NCIS.😮😅

A lot of these tough guy actors were so believable... because they really were tough guys who fought in the horrors of WWII. We've got a lot of young actors today who play tough guys, but they simply don't have the life experience to be believable. Even guys like Mel Brooks and Don Rickles served in some hairy battles. From what I understand, next to Audie Murphy, Charles Durning was the most decorated veteran of WWII. Great actor.

Many were in the service well before their acting careers. A lot of them decided to use their GI Bill to further educate themselves. It seems many took up acting and art as a major. Personally from what I could gather is the acting and art were the furthest from where they came from.and dealing with PTSD. As examples look at Charles Bronson, Jack Palance both from rural mining towns barely able to even speak English. And they both state that after the war the GI Bill was key. And that acting and art were the furthest place from a coal mine in rural Pennsylvania. It is amazing how they completely changed their lives. Also many did not know what 3 meals were. They barely ate 1 meal a day. Completely different than what you see today.

Most of the people who were listed as "entertained the troops" were members of the US Army's Special Services branch. It was formed to provide military personnel with entertainment, and its members held plays, concerts, filmed documentaries, and provided other recreational opportunities. But these people, like Mickey Rooney, Sammy Davis, Jr. and others, were soldiers. They were simply in a non-combat branch of the military, just like someone in the medical corps, finance corps, or other support unit.

@@Sam-kh2zh True. But even though my time in the military was after Bob Hope was doing his bit for us, I sure appreciate how he was always there, from WWII to the Gulf War.

Henry Fonda was not a sniper in WW2. He served in the US Army Air Corps as an Assistant Combat Air Control Officer, and was loaned to the US Navy on D-Day to serve as Quartermaster on the USS Satterlee, a destroyer.

Henry Fonda was a sniper, he served in the US Navy. James Arness lost part of a heel which made it uncomfortable to be on his feet for long periods of time while filming Gunsmoke and needed frequent breaks.

The Jimmy Stewart comment was half of what he did. He flew combat missions and was a General when he retired.
