There bee missed on this one. The whole point is that Klinger wasn’t a fruitcake, he was faking it to try to force the army to get rid of him. Potter wasn’t buying his act.
Young kids just don’t get references to old shows.
Ironically in the last MASH episode it turned out he was the last to leave Korea.
Klinger was malingering.
“”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....
Yes. Nobody in the MASH was buying it.
Exactly right! The author must not understand that.
Indeed. Klinger was putting on an act, and everybody knew it. And most of the time, he was attired in proper Army green fatigues.
