The Korean War? You mean the one where they drank Martinis and chased Nurses named Hot Lips?

Dad was in the 25th Tropic Lightning at the Yalu River.

About three years ago, I spoke to someone who told me she was a school teacher who taught American history. I asked her about recent events or even the 20th century. She told me current issues were avoided. WW2 was discussed. WW1, not so much. I asked her about the Korean War and was told “We focus on American history...” Um, got it! From there, I think we spoke of the weather and what a lovely summer day we enjoyed.

There was actually a very good 1953 film made about MASH units that starred Humphrey Bogart, June Allyson, Keenan Wynn, Robert Keith and William Campbell all directed by Richard Brooks.

See Battle Circus... at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0045544/

Sadly, Netflix has neither the original film... nor my re-cut, re-edited version of it shown in the excepts below:

Hey, Major, where are all the cross-dressing corporals? I feel the need... to kill something--

Look, Ruth, if you sleep with Major Webbe... you are just another round-heeled slut like Hot Lips!
