Hello all Deplorables... MASH’s Klinger was funny, but read that he is a Republican. Forgot where I read it...
Yes I have read that Jamie Farr is a Republican as well.
Farr (born Jamil Farrah in 1934) is actually Roman Catholic, not Muslim like he potrayed in MASH. Fellow Lebanese-American Catholic Danny Thomas was a mentor to Farr early on in his acting career. Toledo, Ohio is Farr’s hometown, the same as Klinger’s.
Also, Farr DID serve in the US Army. He was drafted in 1955, served two years and got out in 1957. Most of his army time was spent in Japan with a brief time in Korea on unit field maneuvers.
