MASH still pertinent after all these years.

1. He should take a good look in the mirror before mocking people.

[orangecrush]

2. I posted the wrong video

In the correct video, Winchester from MASH confronts an officer berating a stuttering wounded soldier.

3. Trump...

... is an evil fucking pig.

[doc03]

4. Obama is the best example of class I

know of, Trump is just classless garbage.

[Peacetrain]

5. I think a lot of us have been having that same recall of callousness by Trump

and how that was a precursor to everything he turned out to be.

10. It literally both nauseates and terrifies me

That this country elected this POS.

6. Thanks for posting this, it brought tears to my eyes.

9. Both of us.

20. YEP!!!

What does it mean when a display of Kindness seems so uncommon?
I remember the hew and cry back in the early nineties when attempts were made to quell the bullying in schools. Shit-Talk-Radio was ablaze with Nattering Nabobs blithering about "fairness" and "Freedom" when schools started trying to socialize the children in their care and chastised this primitive and uncivilized behavior.
That was a warning as to the future of America. Welcome to "Lord of The Flies"!
Sometimes it feels like we need our Society to dissolve itself and start over. I think we are well on the way right now and I fear it because I'm not a killer.

7. Teary.

8. Same here

That an episode can have that effect decades later is pretty remarkable.

[soldierant]

12. It got me too.

It also reminded me of Joe Biden. Class doesn't have to be serious allt he time.

[orangecrush]

13. Thanks

It crossed my mind as well.

[BurnDoubt]

21. Thank You!!!!!

[orangecrush]

26. Most welcome

[erronis]

11. So nice to see even Winchester (the movie character) has humanity. Thank you.

Won't say as much for the make-believe apprentice pee-resident.

14. Underneath

The temperamental surface was a big heart.

[erronis]

16. The characters in MASH were complex - that's what made it such a wonderful show.

I don't remember who put together the series based on the superb movie M*A*S*H, but to carry it on for so many episodes with the comings and goings of characters was incredible.

IANAP (I have nothing to do with psych), but Winchester seemed to exhibit a sensitivity to being out of his depth - his comfort level. Perhaps not "imposter syndrome" but overcompensating for an inability to interact comfortably with the other personnel. Most of the crew were thrown together and had to figure out how to interoperate. Versus a fairly high-ranking, supposedly talented medical professional brought in and having to fit in.

...nuff.

[orangecrush]

22. Thanks

Appreciate the insights.

[BaronChocula]

15. I so remember this episode. SPOILER ALERT

While I was watching it, it came back to me. Honoria (emphasis on second syllable and not the third like the dastardly Col. Flagg thought) stutters.

[niyad]

17. I remember both of those sequences very, very well.

18. K & R

23. Crazy

Mind blown.

Thank you.

24. +1

[orangecrush]

25. Thanks

27. Major Winchester was awesome

on the surface he often came across as an insufferable bore but there were many character-defining incidents that showed he truly cared deeply

[orangecrush]

31. Incredible acting

And writing.

[Deuxcents]

28. On a local tv channel here, MASH reruns after the local news. Just when I thought I've seen them all..

I still watch them every once in a while

[orangecrush]

32. Same here

[Abolishinist]

29. I'm a big fan of M*A*S*H, having watched many episodes more than once,

and Major Winchester was truly unique. Though he was often made the victim of Hawkeye and B.J.'s practical jokes, he was more than capable of giving as good as he got. I'm also a huge fan of the original movie.

As an aside, we saw Alan Alda five years ago at the dedication of Scripps Research in La Jolla, where he announced a partnership that will teach scientists how to communicate more effectively to the public and to other scientists. He was extremely interesting.
I noticed a few 'ticks' from him, but for the most part one would not have noticed.
