Just about every episode of MASH I’ve seen, somebody claims that they hate Korea, or that they hate the stupid Army, or that they don’t even know why they’re at war. I don’t get it. Why don’t they all go home? If nobody wants to work there, how come they never leave?

Please respond with wrong answers.

        You’re supposed to ask why Hot Lips is there.

            I’m glad you asked. Hot Lips Houlihan, the woman who could talk a snake out of its skin, is staying in Vietnam. She’s hawking war bonds to grunts! I swear she could sell ice cream to an Eskimo.

      Spearchucker Jones was either shot down over the Sea of Japan, or he was on that prequel spin-off with Ugly John, Before MASH

    Rosie’s bar has been micro-dosing everyone with opium. They get “home sick” when they try to leave camp for more than a day or two. The doctors and hot lips know. But the addiction has them too far gone to fight it anymore.
