Agreed.
While not a super macho front line trenches and jungles warrior type, Farr did serve in the military and later in the reserves. Which is more than some of the critics.

“He was drafted in 1957, and underwent basic training at Fort Ord in California[9][10] He was made a Broadcast Specialist and worked on training videos in various roles at Fort Knox, the Army Pictorial Service, and Fort Huachuca before shipping out to Korea. Abroad, he was part of the Special Services and worked on the Far East Network. When Red Skelton traveled to Japan and Korea to do a USO tour, he requested Farr’s service as his assistant.[10][9][20]
After two years of active duty,[1] Farr returned to the United States, where he spent an additional two years on reserve.
