“”The whole point is that Klinger wasn’t a fruitcake””
WHY would you think it was necessary to clarify that? Those who watched MASH didn’t know that? If it was intended for the YOUNGER SET - do they even know what MASH is/was? Doubtful...
GOOD satire....
I was a huge MASH fan back in the day, but I tried to go back and watch some episodes, and IMHO, it has aged rather poorly.
Not good satire. The entire point is that the army knew he was a malingering draftee. This has it backwards and matures it look like the army believed him.
This is something someone born in 1999 might come up with having never watched an episode.
