Bob Ross was a drill sergeant before his show, I’m pretty sure he and Fred would agree on denouncing nazis. Mean words are the least they deserve

IIRC Mr. Rogers was a marine, or something like that. Yeah, they were both fine with fighting for what's right. They would just prefer kindness win out before any fighting is required.

It’s an urban myth, conflated with Bob. Bob was a USAF round brown for years, Fred signed up but was disqualified due to eyesight so same generation and intent.

Both would prefer talking to war. Anyone who’s been to war will tell you talking is better.

Except nazis. You fucking demolish them from the earth with flame
