Klinger wanted badly to be discharged and sent back to Toledo, Ohio and figured they would think he was mentally unbalanced and send him home. The funny part was that Klinger, in the end, was the only one who ended up staying in Korea when the war ended because he fell in love with a Korean woman, got married and was going to stay and look for her missing parents. The joke was on him.
