trapper is my guy for many reasons but one is how well his humor translates into modern day. like in 3x3 when he gets that silly suit made “hey, you guys wanna see the pinstripe suit of all time?” any other sitcom guy would be like oh brother what a pickle. but trapper just bursts into the room like look at this stupid fucking suit i love it more than anything

do you think if Trapper fell down that Hawk would spend weeks calling him Tripper John

you headcanon that trapper didn’t write a note because he didn’t care . i headcanon that trapper didn’t write a note because he genuinely believed that hawk would be back in time . i believe that he paced the swamp and checked his watch every ten seconds and ran out of the door whenever he heard a jeep only to swear because not once did it turn out to be hawkeye . i believe that as his time of departure grew closer that trapper cursed his luck because of course hawkeye is always hanging around and being annoying when he doesn’t have to but the one time trapper needs him he’s nowhere to be found . i believe that radar practically had to force him into the jeep ( and that’s when trap gave him the kiss to give hawkeye ) and even as it was pulling away trapper watched intently for any jeep pulling in while he was pulling out . he doesn’t even think about leaving a note until he’s in the chopper and he kicks himself for it because how could he have not thought of leaving a lousy note ? we are not the same

time for me to answer the question thats been plagueing this fandom (me) for centuries (minutes)
How Often Did the M*A*S*H Crew Attend Mulcahy’s Services?
Colonel Blake
Henry would attend for holidays and whenever he felt he had a personal crisis. Lorraines affair, his second child, those were times where Henry would be on the front pew trying his best to focus on the sermon (and failing, groaning with his head in his hands and distracting the father terribly).
Colonel Potter
Colonel Potter is almost always there Sunday morning, 5 minutes before so he can nab his usual spot (even though everyone knows not to sit there). The only times he doesnt make it (besides emergencies of course) are those rare, beautiful mornings where his body practically pulls him up and onto Sophie for an early morning ride.
Major Freedman
Sidney tries to attend a service whenever he’s in town, mostly because he enjoys Francis’ unique perspective in his sermons, but he also has a self described intellectual fascination with all different religions. He has all different religious scriptures in his office in Tokyo, he brushes up as often as he can so he can better relate to his religious patients.
Majors Houlihan/ Burns
I put these two together because they only go together unless the other is sick or indisposed, in which case the former doesn’t go at all. They attend regularly unless they’re preoccupied… 😉
Major Winchester
Charles never cared for church, he almost never goes unless he’s truly bored out of his skull- or on holidays. When he lived with his parents in Boston he would make excuses to why he wasn’t able to attend, a habit he curiously continues with Pierce and Hunnicut even though they couldn’t care less. All about keeping up his image, I guess?
Trapper/Hawkeye/BJ
Another case of both parties going or neither going at all. Trapper and Hawkeye wouldn’t go unless they could tell Francis was low in spirits, both trying to lift him up by attending and singing the hymns as over-the-top as they could. Hawk and BJ keep that tradition alive, but BJ drags Hawkeye to a few additional services when he can, too.
Klinger
Klinger LOVES going to church even though he isn’t religious. He gets to show off his best outfits, sing his heart out, and (most of the time) spend quality time with Mulcahy, Potter, and Radar. He only doesn’t go when he’s too hungover or tired from excessive weekend debauchery but he keeps a lid on that since he loses most of his money gambling on Fridays.
Radar
Radar didn’t go to church as often when Henry was in command, though he still attended at least once a month as a promise to his mother. He goes more often now that Potter is around because of that paternal bonding he doesn’t even realize his subconscious is seeking. He also genuinely likes sticking around to ask Mulcahy questions about the bible. He loves some of the larger than life books of the old testament- people like Sampson and Androcles remind him of his favorite comic book heroes which Francis invokes to help him relate to the scripture.
