I just looked this up, VocalsBass, and found that this story about Mr. Rogers is apparently just an urban legend. He was not in the military and never killed any person:

Unless all the biographical information that exists about him is wrong, Fred McFeely Rogers never served in the military in any capacity, let alone as a Marine sniper (or Navy Seal, as another version of this apocryphal story claims). Some cynical folks may be loathe to believe that the gentle, soft-spoken host of "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood" was exactly what he seemed, but he was.

So, rest easy with happy memories of Mr. Rogers!
