Are you a Frank Burns or a Hawkeye Pierce??
 

Which character to you emulate from the show M.A.S.H.? The uptight anal retentive Frank Burns and his very harsh following of military rules or the more fun-loving Hawkeye Pierce?

Or have people forgotten the many seasons that M.A.S.H. was on. Of course, these were physicians who could think independently. They did have enlisted men too shown who could think independently and would not just blindly do what the brass told them to do.

Major Frank Burns - Monster M*A*S*H - Wikia

Some information about Frank Burns.

Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce - Monster M*A*S*H - Wikia

And some info on Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce.

I do not remember ever rooting for Frank Burns unless he was acting totally out-of-character.

Some information about Hawkeye and military regulations.

I had spoken to a Philosophy Professor about my Dad's suggestion that I go into the military after graduation from college and after I had dropped out of BYU Law School mainly because of the very strict regulations on everything. He said that that would kill me as I am a very independent and creative thinker. Philosophy requires you to be able to think for yourself as did Law School. The Philosophy Professor was at the University of Nevada, Reno.

Your binary choice is a bunch of horse hockey.

Whatever.

MASH is arguably the best thing that has ever been on television. Although it is set in Korea during the Korean War, its obvious target is Vietnam and the pretensions of traditional culture, including over-the-top patriotism, prudery, and going by the book.

In many ways, it reenacts the "culture war" that was going on in America when the show started in which liberalism, the counter-culture and the anti-war movement, were in a battle with traditional culture, government, and the military. MASH takes these two cultures and turns each one into a kind of society. It then pits the two societies against each other in ways that are symbolically similar to the battles that were taking place in America. *

Wow. And I just thought it was funny.

Neither. I am not an elitist celebrity or a fictional character. That's the problem with this country, everyone wants to live in a fantasy world.

Nothing beats BJ.
Tell anything wrong with BJ.
BJ is level "headed"
BJ is there for you, always cums through for you in the clutch.

Furthermore more BJs makes America great again

Doesn't anyone find it odd that 20 years after WWII we have a sitcom about a German POW Camp, Hogan's Heroes and fighting in the South Pacific, McHale's Navy.

No one would even consider a sitcom about a Vietnamese Prison Camp 50 years later. It's repulsive.

Why wasn't it just as repulsive with those shows in the 60's?

I don't have the answer. Did Americans change?

Yep, they because liberal wimps. They even insist on changing the name of the Washington Redskins due to PC. And they wonder why there is so much animosity in America.

Sorry about that mess. It should read:

Yep, because they are liberal wimps.
