OK,,over the years I been in the Army, I am tired of hearing people trying to convince me that Mr Rogers from the the childrens TV show was a Navy SEAL, Marine Sniper or an ARMY RANGER..with almost 200 confirmed kills...This is crazy!!! If someone wants to prove me wrong, please do so!! This is driving me nuts!! http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/fredrogers/a/mr_rogers.htm

Fred Rogers was none of the above.  He did, however, serve on an M-60 MG team with John Denver and Mikey (before he exploded from the deadly combination of Pop Rocks and Pepsi).  I'm not sure what conflict they served in, but I believe it was before Peter Frampton cut off his penis while on stage.

He never served in the military.

You can't blame those guys for being a little stressed out after they heard their buddy Jerry Mathers from Leave it to Beaver had been killed in Vietnam. 

Never heard the one about Peter Frampton but was that before or after Rod Stewart had to get his stomach pumped?

So how about an unlikely celebrity do-gooder who actually WAS a sniper?

Hmmm....Oh yeah, Sex Therapist Dr. Ruth Westheimer. 

And no, I'm not kidding.....

Did we really have to revisit this topic?

This is the third time that I can remember on this subject.

I never heard the Peter Frampton one either, but I'm sure it happened rigHT around the same time that Marilyn Manson felated himself onstage.

Hey guys don't laugh, I just got the one about Lee Marvin and Capt Kangaroo being on Iwo together and at the end it talks about Mr Rogers being a Navy Seal and how he always wore long sleeves to cover up the Tatoos. There was a snopes link on this msg so it could be true.
