MASH. I seem to remember that show.

Wasn't that the one where Alan Alda put on a low rent, insipid stab at doing Groucho Marx?

And in one episode while he and his CO were hiding in a ditch from enemy small arms fire Alda broke down, had a fit, hurled his .45 over the top of the ditch and got up to make some hair tearing speech about how he was too good to shoot back at people who were trying to kill him?

That MASH?

The show turned to crap when Wayne Rogers left (GRHS) and Alda thought he should direct.

There was that famous one in MASH.  If they were on TV way back then there must have been thousands of them we didn't know about.

:bigsilly:

That's what Briefers do, Darlin'.  It's how we roll.  Taking unserious things too seriously can be a wonderful breath of wit.  It can also be stoopit.   :shrug:

BUG OUT!

For God's sake, put the bug back before it starts laying eggs.  We'll never be rid of the nest...

Yet more proof of the insidious, invidious character of the left.

Klinger wasn't a transgender.

He was a transvestite, and as mentioned above, he just wanted a psych discharge.

Notice the co-option and corruption of the language.

In order to swell the perceived numbers of transgenders we're seeing cross dressers identified as people who've been surgically mutilated and fed hormones like a factory farmed chicken.

Because, in the real mind of the Socialist/nihilist/anachist, the Utopia cannot be built upon any other existing societal structures.

This is part of the "Bring it all down man." phase.

And they can't accomplish that without the Orwellian Newspeak of changing the long established actual meaning of words first.

They're destroying the language itself, and in the grip of that tornado, it's much easier to put everyone at everyone else throats.

Kill what words mean, poison the language, and you put people into heated arguments attacking perceived wrongs with arguments which are way out of proportion to the level of disagreement they Should find themselves in, if they AGREED UPON WHAT THE WORDS EVEN MEANT.

I'm still trying to figure out how there could ever BE an influx of transgender veterans.... when transgenders only make up .03% of the population.   What the hell?

Exactly what I was thinking, XenaLee.  How can this tiny minority be any sort of a problem anywhere.  If it's a form of mental illness, transgenders are not even a majority among the mentally ill.

How could a bunch of mentally ill people even get in the Army and why would they want to?  There are plenty of beauty salons still open.

This whole thing just seems to be some kind of weird honey trap that has everyone talking about nothing.

I never even watched MASH but even I know that Klinger was not trans-anything.  He was a character created for comedy and thought cross dressing might get him out of the military.

Klinger was not a transvestite since you are dealing with the poisoning of language. 

A transvestite likes to dress in women's clothing.  Klinger hit upon what he thought was a good way to get out of the army.  He did not have any compulsion to dress in women's clothing at all.

Of course it won't be a problem. They can just wait forever to be seen at the VA just like normal vets.

Seriously why is this guy still at the VA?

I was talking to my son yesterday and he's upset because he read an article on the Net about the Flat Earth Society.  He could not believe that it existed, kept going on about Idiocracy.

I said, Lee, there are a whole bunch of people in the world and the percentage who belong to the Flat Earth Society would be statistically irrelevant .... as would all the other little oddities we allow ourselves to become obsessed with.

The problem is not Flat Earth people and it's not people who want to change their sex or think they were 'born into the wrong body.'  The problem is the Internet, that drags up every perversion it can find to sell mattresses or whatever.

You could go your whole life and never encounter any of the weirdness that you see on The Net.

The net does weird a great service.  It dresses it up.  Puts it in a rocking chair on the front porch and hands it cocktail and lets it all hang out.

A male transvestite dresses in women's clothes.

You are wrong.  Not sure how we ended up with a whole thread about Klinger, but since we did.

A male transvestite feels the desire to dress in women's clothes.

Klinger was a character who was chosen because he was a very masculine dude and had figured out a way to get discharged.  His dressing in women's clothing was an act, not a desire.

It's like claiming Robin Williams was a transvestite because he did the movie where he dressed as a female nanny.  It was an act, just like Klinger's was.

I hear a lot of bad things about VA care.  If they are true, it's a disgrace and something should be done.

My brother-in-law went to the VA hospital in Dallas and it seemed like he got good care over there.

As for Klinger, I'm only worried that actors didn't get any royalties for re-runs back then and MASH is still on TV every dam day.

Even though my brother-in-law died, it wasn't the VA that killed him, it was the IRS.

We desperately need to go to some sort of flat tax and get rid of the IRS.
