Jeez, moron, I was going to try to explain some tactical practices to you but then realized who the audience was so won't bother. Take your half-witticisms and go back to your undergrad studies.I Boat Guy
I watched that back in the Seventies and started thinking, every time Klinger showed up in a scene in a dress, just how funny it would be if MPs showed up and hauled his ass away, and is never heard from again.
That is exactly what would have happened. Instead of a Section Eight, he would have been charged with insubordination, disobeying a direct order, and undermining good order and discipline. He would have been court martialed, busted in rank to private, finished out his term of enlistment doing hard labor at Fort Leavenworth, and then given a dishonorable discharge.
And George True for what it's worth, I was a child when MASH was on the air and knew nothing of military rules. On the rare occasions I sat through the show I kept wondering why they put up with Klinger's antics.
I assumed they figured making him do his job was punishment enough and that they needed his scavenging skills.
Of course even a child could see that MASH was odious propaganda and I prefered Black Sheep Squadron or on rare occasions when i could find them, Rat Patrol reruns (I'm not that old)
George True, depending on the time period, he might have been shipped to the front to help soak up CHICOM human wave attacks, or man a forward listening post, or clear mines. Save the cost of transportaion to Leavenworth and room and board.
Not counting the news outlets or websites along the full range of accuracy and veracity, I follow multiple actual individuals' handwritten blogs. (Bot news aggregators don't thrill me.) Looking them over, many are current serving or former military and a couple are some variation of high-speed low-drag elite forces ninjas. Or just funny as all. Because life without humor is just despair. So in other words, the same folks I trusted in the military not to wet the bed, sh*t themselves, or otherwise run around like headless Nancys, are the same folks I trust on the interwebz, for demonstrating pretty much the same trustworthiness and circumspectly responsible behavior. Color me shocked.
Comments are fully moderated, due to idiots and trolls. Grown up discussion here will appear just as soon as I have the time to push it through. ANONYMOUS UNSIGNED COMMENTS WILL BE AUTO-DELETED WITHOUT MERCY, and the url added to the spam filter, or mercilessly mocked at the bloghost's sole discretion. If you're too chickensh*t to come up with an alias for online purposes, you're not tall enough for this blog. Pick a name, and stick with it, and you're good. Get cute, and you're wasting your time and my electrons, and your masterpiece will never see the light of day. No warning shots will be fired. If you can't maintain decorum and polite behavior, I won't toy with you, I'll squash you. If one of your comments disappears, YOU f**ked up. If all of them do, it's time for you to go. Disagree with the points made, on the merits, and you're good. Go after me personally, or other commenters, and your comment will never see daylight here. My tolerance for skirting the line is at absolute zero, and will remain there. Don't f**k up.

Don't be so hard on our host. Aesop can meme with the best of them and I believe he did all of his schoolin' as he's a nurse or some such.
Nice one Aesop.
