hey paul, the first step to dying gloriously in battle is actually joining the military, which I notice you didn't do, so sadly you might have to settle for a less glorious death than all of the poor kids you vote to send off to actually fight your battles for you
I re-watched the M.A.S.H. movie maybe two years ago. I hadn't seen it in 15 or 20 years. It definitely had some cringey moments, but I was able to enjoy the quality of the film. And then we get to the intersquad football game and the black surgeon character with the super racist nickname. Like so racist my grandmother wouldn't have said it. Kinda ended the fun there. I believe the character even made the jump to the television show, which just blows my damn mind. Look it up yourself. I just started commenting here; I don't wanna get booted.
What I remember being told was that it was infected and he couldn't get penicillin because it was being given to soldiers (he was not in the military). But who knows? I was like 5. To this day, I see death every time I look at my toenails.
Yep. I feel bad for Spearch*cker. Yes, that was his nickname. He was the only black regular cast member on the show throughout its entire run and he got booted after the first season, never to be mentioned again like he was Richie’s older brother Chuck.
OMG, I’m getting elevated levels of the Miss Lindsey vapors.
Yes. Now I have yet another possible thing that’s making me sick every day.

I thought Gosar was the one not self-quarantining? It's difficult keeping the idiot scorecard straight.
IKR? It's like cancer, having its good name dragged in the mud by being associated with Rush Limpballs.

And then there's the misogyny! OMG!
Funny how it’s always the chicken hawks who dream of a glorious death in battle.
If it was WWI, there was no penicillin yet.
Ex-Dentist Gosar is a bad tooth in dental speak, and needs to be extracted.
Well, actual battle does have a way of curing one of that malady. One way or another.
Like I said, I was five. And being told a story by my grandmother, who was herself probably not much more than that when the events unfolded.
There was a nurse named Ginger who was a regular on the TV show after the surgeon was gone. She suffered the same misogyny all the other nurses did.
The Sword of Truth is double-edged... for your pleasure.
