lol ... just a bit of Ed's service record:

During World War II (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II), McMahon was a fighter pilot in the United States Marine Corps (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Marine_Corps) serving as a flight instructor and test pilot. He was a decorated pilot and was discharged in 1946, remaining in the reserves.[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_McMahon#cite_note-2)
After college, McMahon returned to active duty. He was sent to Korea (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_War) in February 1953. He flew unarmed O-1E Bird Dogs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessna_L-19_Bird_Dog) on 85 tactical air control and artillery spotting missions. He remained in the Marine Corps Reserve, retiring with the rank of Colonel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonel) in 1966 and was then commissioned as a Brigadier General (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigadier_general_(United_States)) in the California Air National Guard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Air_National_Guard).

sorry for giving ya a Wikipedia source.

I appreciate his service.

He was still a worthless old geezer. In fact he has been worthless since he was on with Johnny Carson.

[muddyrocks]

he sold his weight in Purina Dog Chow etc. and as a set up man he was on que.

I admit I never cared for his magazine-make-you-a-millionaire racket but again, he was just a salesman.

eh, whats an old jarhead to do? rock n roll?
