Alan Alda gained international acclaim for his leading role as Hawkeye Pierce on Twentieth Television's hit series M*A*S*H. He garnered an unprecedented number of awards for his portrayal of a surgeon "temporarily misassigned" to the Korean War.

He played a military man.. not sure he was one..

Maybe the military info relates to Alan ARKIN, not Alan Alda. People often make the mistake. . .

I agree, I know some people that were in real MASH units in the Korean War. They hated "MASH". I can't picture him in a real uniform.

Supposedly he did a six month stint in the military in the 50's, I think....

..but I've never known him to publicly support it or show patriotic leanings or affirmations.

He's known as a staunch feminist....whatever that means to a guy.

I've always thought him very liberal.
