"After graduation, he joined the Army Reserve and served a six-month tour of duty as a gunnery officer in Korea."
From Wikipedia.
Obviously he got sucked into the 60's vaccuum and was lost forever.
Lost is certainly right! He is a disgrace now...even though he started out well.
Wikipedia screwed up. Alda was in the reserves AFTER he graduated from Fordham University in 1956, well after the Korean war.
