I don't think Frank was born an asshole, but he was definitely a piece of work before he got to Korea. The war, tensions within the camp, Hawkeye's needling, Frank's abusive upbringing (there was a comment at some point about Frank's father punching him in the face as punishment), and his social location within a very specific white, (upper) middle class American culture of the 1950s that encouraged him to cover up his vulnerabilities and declining mental health with a veneer of patriotism created a perfect storm of douchebaggery. Frank's arc is essentially the same as Hawkeye's wrt mental illness, except Frank broke down earlier because he didn't have a strong foundation laid by supportive parents and a happy childhood.
