Sad, isn't it?

From wikipedia: The 1962 film The Manchurian Candidate used the names of several people associated with Sgt. Bilko for the members of a Korean War patrol - Cpl. Allan Melvin, Pvt. Silvers, Pvt. Hiken, and Pvt. Lembeck.

I did not know that.

In 1987 a British tourist visiting Tibet wearing a Phil Silvers "Sgt. Bilko" T-shirt had Chinese soldiers attempt to rip it off her because they thought the picture was the Dalai Lama.

LOL

Fwiw:
