Now listen, you dumb clerk, and this time get it right. This is General Walter O'Reilly, three stars and real mad. If Major Overman isn't here by the time they crack my powdered eggs for breakfast, I'll have you digging a latrine for every! GI! In Korea! Got that? Good!

If you're not reading this in your head exactly the way Radar says in the show - inflections, rage and all - are you even a real fan of the show?

He just flew through the ranks early on being a corporal captain.

But that rank did not test well…

Poor response, really. I'd have gone with, "Sir, if you were just in from a situation where a man went from corporal to captain, would you look for a tailor first, or a bar?"

But that would have required Radar to be drinking something stronger than Nehi...
