Boy, is nothing sacred any more. Now, I think the
only way I would be convinced (one way or the other ) is to go do the
research myself {:>).
Too bad the "media" types seems to feel they need
to "embellish" the lives of those which need none. I found the Mr. Rogers'
story plausible because when I first started college back in 1958, I had a
History teacher, that almost seem a double for Mr. Rogers, tall, slim built, and
quite temperament and manner - and he did have a tattoo on his forearm
which he mostly kept hidden.
The story was that he had been a ranger in WWII - a story
that gain considerable credence the day I saw him physically
picked up a rowdy college football student in the classroom and
bodily throw him out the classroom door. He then returned to his desk, ran
his fingers through his slightly mussed hair and continued to read to us from
the Egyptian "Book of the Dead" prayer book. It was one mild mannered
history teacher I would never consider messing with. So the Mr. Rodgers
story was believable to me. Great fellow for the kids in any
case.

Being from a military family and generally
knowing the type, this all sounded a little strange to me. Lee Marvin I could
believe, even the Captain, but not Mr. Rogers (not to disparage him, it just
didn't fit). So here is what I found.
Don't believe anything you read and only half of
what you see ;-)
