Was Mr. Rogers a sniper for the US army during the vietnam war? I heard he was. I also heard that he has tatoos all down his arms thats why he always had long sleeved shirts on. Is that true as well?

    G'day Airamis05,

    Thank you for your question.

    Mr Rogers Neighborhood ran between 1968 and 2001 with Fred Rogers as host for the entire time. He hosted an earlier version of the show in Canada between 1963 and 1966 which rules out any involvement in Vietnam. Indeed, his biography shows no evidence of having served in the military in any capacity.

    While I do not know whether he had a tattoo or not, I consider it highly unlikely that he did. For one thing, his mild personae makes it unlikely as does the fact that he was also a Presbyterian Minister. Snopes claims that the claim is false and that he dressed as he did to establish himself as an authority.

    I have attached sources for your reference.

    Regards

    • Mr Rogers does not have any tattoos. He had an episode in which he went to the pool and wore only swimshorts. I think you can see it on youtube.
