Turns out the comedian has been quietly visiting soldiers at Walter Reed and Bethesda hospitals, trips he began in 2004 to better understand the Iraq war. "I felt that I was living in a world of theory," he told the audience, "but I hadn’t touched the reality and the humanity of it." The first patient he met was "funnier than I was" — and Stewart’s been a regular ever since.
