Hawkeye: War isn’t Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.

Father Mulcahy: How do you figure that, Hawkeye?

Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?

Father Mulcahy: Sinners, I believe.

Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them — little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.

😭 It was in the Operating Room too, which means it had no laugh track. I loved the versatility of this show, but the OR was dead serious. The optimism of Mulcahey against the emphatic cynicism of Hawk is a great character moment. I'm dead inside.

I wish I could upvote this more, that show is amazing!

Alan Alda's got a pretty good podcast now. I watched a lot of MASH reruns growing up. Feels strange that kids now don't have the experience of watching a bunch of stuff that's not made for them at all, just because that's what's on TV.

Yeah. MASH is my favorite show of all time, and the final episode aired just before I was born.

But it was always on reruns for decades.

I don’t remember this happening in the show. Was it before they shot out kingpin’s eye or after?
