M*A*S*H*/CBS/1972-83
**(Jamie Farr) Corporal Maxwell "Max" Klinger, a Lebanese-American from Toledo,
Ohio who was stationed overseas in a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital during the
Korean War (M*A*S*H unit #4077). His total dislike for war drove him to wear a
dress with hopes of being transferred stateside on grounds of mental deficiency.
His efforts were in vein, however. Ironically, at the conclusion of the war, he
fell in love with a Korean farm girl and remained, for a time, in Korea to help
search for her family. Finally, they relocated to River Bend, Missouri.
