Answer: Colonels

But watch out for those rascally colonels!

Answer: To become a priest

After the Corporal reveals that he has promised God he would become a priest, Father Mulcahy smiles. He bemusedly responds, 'If everyone who ever promised to take the vow in a moment of stress made good, there'd be so many of us around it'd look like the priesthood had had a population explosion.'

Answer: Aztec

Klinger apparently said and did some crazy things to avoid being drafted into the army, though none of them apparently worked. Besides his Aztec religious persuasion (for which he added that if he were brought a virgin, he'd cut her heart out), Klinger claims that when he was asked to stick out his tongue, he pulled down his pants, and when the doctors tried to look in his ears, he said 'Ah!' He also claims to have kissed a psychiatrist on the mouth.

In reaction to his antics, he was told, 'Keep this up and we'll make you an officer!'

Frank retorts, 'Well, most of 'em don't want to be reds anyway.' BJ asks, 'Then why kill 'em?' Frank blithely responds, 'Well, they can't have it both ways.'
