Klinger: “To tell you the truth, I don’t belong here. If two doctors will sign a form, I’ll be able to go home. And so far, I’ve got all but both of them.”
Inga: “You know, I may be able to help you.”
Klinger: “Oh, you can? You mean it?”
Inga: “Yeah, well, I have a colleague in Copenhagen who does sex-change operations.”
Klinger: “Yeah? What’s that?”
Inga: “Well, you would finally be transformed into a woman. It’s very sophisticated surgery, but, uh, it’s possible.”
Klinger: “You mean, somebody– You mean, take a knife and– and–“
Inga: “Yeah.”
Klinger: “They’re crazier than I am!”
How long before Klinger is on military recruiting posters?
Obama’s a bed wetting fag and everyone by now knows it.
Klinger: “I’m all man, Clyde, the clothes are a dodge!”
Many of us served in the military not too many years after Woodstock, which was more about a bunch of kids going off and listening to music and partying.
There is a lot wrong with the transition of power from the greatest generation to the baby boomers of the upper half, e.g. the Clintons and the Bushes, because the greatest generation forgot that they needed to select, train and groom their successors.
Too much of the reaction against the 60's culture drove that culture and was based in the most flawed and ineptly fought war in this country's history - Vietnam. Fighting communism was fine, but we fought to defend those who were defending French colonialism. It was a no win situation, in which we extracted the worst loss possible.
There is a lot wrong with America, but it isn't "woodstock values from a 1960's freakshow."
That is not a woodstock freak show. That is Ash Carter and his boss Obama.
His fundamental problem was that not wanting to be there, heck not even wanting to be a conscript in the Army, were both very reasonable, very sane viewpoints. The woman thing and all his other dodges were just wild expressions of what were otherwise very normal feelings. In fact he showed great creativity, intelligence, and commitment (though maybe poor judgement and/or Wile E. Coyote level optimism that this time it would work).
Now today, we've got people encouraging the lunatic fringe to indulge their strangest desires and fantasies. It isn't about avoiding something dangerous or unpleasant, it is pure freak show.
As an aside, I’ve had lunch at Packo’s in Toledo—I live a half-hour from there. The sauce is a bit runny, but quite tasty. They also sell it in little 12 oz. cans at Walmart, etc., here—but it’s $3 a pop. Don’t know if it’s sold outside Northwest Ohio, though. Anybody out there see it in your stores that’s not in Ohio, just wondering...
Funny - saw this on a facebook feed.
Jamie Farr did actually serve in the U.S. Army. He was drafted in 1955 and served two years - in Japan and Korea. I believe he is also a conservative Republican.
agreed
Klinger married two times in the series, too...each time to a woman. It was so obvious that Max was not a transvestite, and that was what made the gag very funny.
Wow, thete really is a Packo’s? MASH lives!
IIRC, in the MASH series finale that nearly broke the New York City sewage system when it was broadcast, Klinger decides to STAY in Korea to help his new wife find her family.
Was it a real place when MASH was on, or did they create it because of the series?
Why, it’s been a Toledo institution since 1932! Mind you, I didn’t eat there until much later... ;)
Career over country. The motto of the 3 and 4 star officers carrying out Obama’s plan to destroy the military he hates.
Trivia: Jamie Farr who played Klinger on MASH, actually served in the Army in Korea. Though it was after the Korean war was over. Hes the only MASH cast member to have done so.
