(spoilers) There was an episode where Hawkeye had to come to terms with a traumatic memory where during his childhood, he was pushed into the lake by a friend. The friend rescued him from drowning, but blamed Hawkeye for "being clumsy".

Implied bisexuality but mostly from a character who is single. A lot of cheating in general, some comments about men being attractive from married men, but they'd all be cheaters anyways, bisexual or not.
In Requiem for a Lightweight, Hawkeye says that he doesn't want to tell Trapper which men find him attractive because "some of them are married".

It's very minimal, subtle, and always shot down by the main cast when it does show up. Only three characters are stated outright to be Jewish, and all are treated with respect (one of these characters is posthumous). There is a strong implication that the on-call psychiatrist Sidney Freedman is Jewish, and the most he faces is being treated dismissively by Frank in an episode dealing with a disassociating soldier claiming to be Jesus Christ.

If you have the DVD you can turn off the laugh track which treats Klinger's cross-dressing as a joke. Most of Klinger's peers don't mind him wearing dresses, and those who do are usually the villains anyway.
Klinger stops cross-dressing in later seasons.

No "Bury Your Gays" or anything but practically every character shows attraction towards the same gender and some die. I think the most notable is in Sometimes You Hear The Bullet. A character, who kisses two men on the mouth and at least jokes about crossdressing, is killed. His death has nothing to do with his queerness.

The more accurate term would be acephobia, as aphobia is a lack of fear. Father Mulcahy can be inferred across multiple episodes to be asexual. And while a nurse does make a pass at him in one episode despite knowing about his vows, no one otherwise treats his celibacy as a thing to be mocked or to try and convince him to disavow.

The finale is very bittersweet. The war is finally over, everyone is going home, and Klinger even gets married. However, the camp is broken up, Potter has to give his mare away, Hawkeye and BJ will be on opposite ends of the country, Hawkeye hasn't recovered from his PTSD and is afraid of children, and the loss of some Chinese music students to a landmine permanently marks Charles and causes him to start hating classical music.

This is a show about a war. Most of the characters never shoot guns themselves though as they're doctors, they usually just treat people who have been shot.
Klinger often carries a gun with him but seemingly just to play up his "psycho" persona. He is not interested in hurting people.
