How Jimmy Stewart’s WWII Experience Impacted ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ | Morning Joe | MSNBC
My dad was an RAF bomber Navigator during WWII. His pilot Jock Shaw, the ” Old Man “, was 28.
Among those Steward commanded in the Army Air Corps during WWII was a young man named Walter Matthow aka Walter Matthau.
Boy Jimmy Stewart was not only at a great actor put a heck of a patriot his generation Sure saved the World

WW2 was worse than you think, gun your hand rifle really. Through a hole in a concrete wall you see a street in a French city. The sound of artillery in the distance, a baby faced Luey is tell you and your friends about a German gun implement in the next building. Go and take it, he says. In the street is a shooting gallery on both side. The a hole is sending you and five other guy likely to you death. Battery acid in your mouth you go, don’t make out door bullet to you neck, carotid artery severed blood gushing out. Margaret you wife face flashes in your mind and your baby son.
Good story, M & J

Reminder: t’rump called our military “suckers and losers” because if they die, there’s nothing in it for them. That includes you, Jimmy.
Anyone who doesn’t love James Stewart is wrong.
Jimmy Stewart was a man’s man and a Republican.
Russian proverb: with a lie you can always move forward. But you can never go back.
One of the reasons Frank Capra’s film remains relevant: Trump is the evil Mr. Potter.
George Bailey (Jimmy Stewart) to Potter: “You sit around here and you spin your little webs, and you think the whole world revolves around you.” Trump is indeed the “scurvy little spider” of Capra’s film. And Trump’s evil is larger, deeper, and far more lethal to us all.
