M*A*S*H, set during the Korean War, was a widely popular dark comedy that aired on TV from 1972 to 1983. Two of its characters served in Korea shortly after the war ended: Alan Alda, who played surgeon "Hawkeye Pierce," and Jamie Farr, the cross-dressing "Cpl. Max Klinger." The dogtags that "Klinger" wore on TV were his own.
