Alan Alda never served in Korea. He had denied it on multiple occasions. For example in this tweet: https://twitter.com/alanalda/status/1217229317387669504. Plus he details his service in his autobiography and he was only in the US. Is there some way to get that error out of there. It does say he served on some military sites but they are all wrong.

needs to be totally removed since it is per se wrong on facts. Alda was not in Korea during Korean war.
In the case of Jason Robards he appeared to have stolen valor due to false claims as claims, possibly by a publicist and not himself, to have received decorations he did not. So it is a disservice to Mr. Alda, who served honorably during peacetime, to erroneously imply he was a combat veteran. He was not. Incidentally We need to REMOVE this reference in story:
as it is in error, stating
Alda was at Fordham from 1952 to 1956 and the armistice ending fighting was signed in July 1953. The statement in that source stating: "Alda served a six month tour during the Korean War" is abjectly false and has been denied by Mr. Alda many times. N34B2 ( talk) 02:29, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
