actually my objective observation from the detached viewpoint of sociopathic libertarianism seems to finger the conservative “interests” in this country as being more apt to accuse the democrats of some treason (say Georgia Senate candidate Saxby chambliss calling Georgia senator and amputee veteran Max Cleland a traitor,of course Saxcby never having even served.)

Walt Disney – Walt Disney never actually served; the discharge he displayed was actually to acknowledge a snub he received from the USMC when he offered to design unit patches for them as he had for the Army. To this day, the USMC does not wear unit patches.

Jimi Hendrix – Was special forces in the Army, and, contrary to the company he kept, was also a supporter of the war in Vietnam which he was quite vocal about.

Not interested in getting into a lot of political wrangling, but Daniel Inouye, Senator from Hawaii, is a double amputee Congressional Medal of Honor winner and a Democrat of today. Seems like ther’es heroes and cowards on both sides of the aisle

Emily, Jamie Farr was NOT the only cast member that served in Korea. Hawkeye himself, Alan Alda, joined the Army Reserve after college and did served in Korea as a gunnery officer.

According to Military.com:
Ice T joined the Army in 1979.
MC Hammer was in the Navy.
Al Gore was opposed to the Vietnam War – but went anyway
And Mel Brooks – Brooks was a corporal in the U.S. Army. The graduate of the Virginia Military Institute served in World War II, fought in the Battle of the Bulge, and on occasion, defused landmines â€” a job that requires a good sense of humor.

Jamie Farr of MASH was the only cast member who actually served in the Korean War. If memory serves me he was an orderly, in a MASH unit.
