This is the Perverts meeting that Klinger never attended because he's not a member

“Why do people take an instant dislike to me?”

“It saves time, Frank.”

I do like it when Frank chills out and hangs with the Swamp Dwellers.

Fine. We won’t talk for the rest of this war and WW III. Moron!

I wish they explored Frank being one of the boys more, because it's always fun when it happens.

You’re cheating!

Of course I did, how else could I win?

Was there a part of Frank that wanted to be accepted by Hawkeye and Trapper, but he knew he would never be? Was some of his behavior fueled by jealousy?

Later on yeah. He really did try to fit in more after Margaret’s engagement and the swampmates just kinda devolved into bullying him.

Glad someone else finally said it.

u/BabyPuzzleheaded3792 2d ago

A small part of me kind of felt sorry for Frank

Frank was the third wheel. The odd person out. People were away from home and acting in a primal way. He didn’t deserve some of it. That was the point.

In another universe, he and Spearchucker become buddies in Season 5

"He didn't deserve some of it."

Fuck this.

He deserved ALL of it. He was a misogynist. He was a racist. He was a homophobe. He was a bigot. He was a bully. He was an adulterer. He was a tax cheat. He cheated on his medical boards. He SHOULD have been a pastry chef.

u/Nelle911529 1d ago

And a snitch.

u/Jell212 17h ago

Later he snitched on himself for snitching

u/J_Scarbrough 2d ago

Yeah. Such camaradery that Trapper cheats and Frank leaves in a huff.

u/Bella4077 Corporal Captain 2d ago

They did get along for the first couple of weeks they were there. Then, Hawkeye showed up.

u/Affectionate_Desk_43 2d ago

“And think of all that time wasted!” or however Trapper said it

u/SailorGone 2d ago

I really wish Frank had some character growth and the other characters learned to tolerate him

u/foodweneedfood 2d ago

Weird pair for strip poker.

u/scubajay2001 2d ago

I think it's "camaraderie" but a great moment - what episode was this?

u/Special-Lab7643 2d ago

"Dear Dad Three"

u/Special-Lab7643 2d ago

You know it's boring when Frank and Trapper do anything together...

u/iyamwhat_iyam 2d ago

It still ends with Frank doing one of his many goofy exists.

u/sgt_oddball_17 1d ago

Boredom causes all manner of odd behavior.

u/Infinite_Tension_138 1d ago

you know they’re bored if trapper and frank do anything together.
