  Section 8 (military) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the 1950s, Section 8 discharges were commonly given to service members found guilty of "Sexual Perversion," especially for homosexuality — and it was classified as an undesirable discharge, depriving the soldier so discharged of veteran's benefits but not resulting in the loss of any citizenship rights, such as the right to vote.
The Section 8 discharge sought after by Corporal Klinger in M*A*S*H differs from a real Section 8; Klinger is attracted to a Section 8 discharge because on the show, it is considered a medical discharge and not a dishonorable discharge.
The Section 8 has also been referenced in the book A Separate Peace, the book (and later movie) Catch-22, in the movies Full Metal Jacket (due to the excessive masturbation habit of a Marine nicknamed "Handjob") and Jarhead, and in an episode of Family Guy, in which Stewie briefly parodies the Klinger character.
