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.
When it works, it works

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.
