I agree, I know some people that were in real MASH units in the Korean War. They hated "MASH". I can't picture him in a real uniform.
I saw the movie on big screen on it's release in HONG KONG!!!
was in a theater with the sound english but chinese subtitles.
very strange as the audience would laugh when there was nothing funny & vice versa. Of course you know some things are lost/added with subtitles.
Wasn't Alan Alda the son of an Alan Alda? Perhaps it was his dad who was the veteran. Can't see Hawkeye as ever having been a GI.
