Yes, the character Corporal Walter "Klinger" was inspired by real-life individuals who served in Korean War medical units, known as MASH (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital) units. While Klinger, portrayed by Jamie Farr in the television series "MASH," was a fictional character who famously wore women's clothing to try to get a discharge, his character reflected the experiences and challenges faced by some soldiers during the war. The series, while comedic, drew on actual events and experiences from the Korean War.
