ohhhhh god we’ve got to another ‘don’t forget we’re in a war’ episode of MASH
#i mean this entirely positively btw#or at least as positively as 'I'm About To Cry In The Next 22 Minutes' can be#for reference: Point Of View is a very famous MASH episode#wherein there is no opening music. entire episode is filmed from the eye POV of a random soldier#(easiest way to describe is like. you're in a video game. you never see the main character you are looking out his eyes)#you get shelled. you hear yourself gurgling. you get transported to the army hospital#and you get treated by this genuinely kind but eccentric cast of charactetrs#and it just. ugh. it does such a good job of both the obvious 'war is bad' message (which needed to be heard during the time MASH came out)#and also just. idk. the thousand little miseries of war#you're injured so badly you need to go home. you're never seeing any of your squad again unless you run into them backseas (if they survive#you get horirfically injured and have to be transported via OUTSIDE OF A HELICOPTER to go to a dinky little hospital in the middle of nowh#you get picked up by this 18 year old kid who politely asks the doctor not to take any 'giant steps' as he helps you on your gurney#(also one man dressed in full pink ladies evening wear screaming 'ALL ABOARD THE TOLEDO EXPRESS)#AAAAaaAAAaaAA
