My Dad served in Korea from August 4th, 1950 until late December of 1952. He was attached to the 24th inf div, 8th Army. He watched a few episodes of M.A.S.H when it first aired. After the first few episodes he would get up and leave the room when it started. He thought it was an insult to those who served in Korea and Vietnam. He served 27 years. Drafted in 1940, served in 3 Wars, 4 if you include the Cold War and retired with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.

My dad was in the European theater in WW2

He did the same with Hogan’s Heroes.

Respect and honor for your father.

Yes, the Cold War counts. Very few served in three ‘hot’ wars, fewer still after three in the fourth cold one. Truly a generation of Warriors! Happenstance of birth, and committed Patriots throughout.
