When a Family Show Really Was For The Whole Family

"What if I told you Hawkeye in the novel was a closet bigot and racist?"

I really would be surprised by that, Graeystone.

And even back then, they didn't allow "Spearchucker" (black Dude) from the movie, into the series. (Maybe one episode, I forget)

Yeah, MASH TV wasn't as progressive as they made themselves out to be. Should've taken some notes from Hogan's Heroes.

👍UPVOTE- Great meme vB. I thought Klinger was one of the funniest gags on the show. For those unfamiliar, the joke was that he desperately wanted out of the army, so he pranced around in dresses, especially when senior officers were present... Anyone like that would have to be nuts right? And thrown out... Everyone got the joke, but would today's audiences even understand? Naturally an army man wearing a dress on duty was nuts, still is nuts, and always will be nuts- only people's perceptions have changed thanks to the constant "sissification" by the liberal agenda. It's truly insane & worrisome. The "wokification" of today's military has all but normalized this behavior now. I shudder to think about our military readiness these days.

Excellent synopsis of our situation, Dan! You really could not have said it better!

Today, you pretty much can't be rejected from the military (unless you are heterosexual and then all bets are off). We are not 'allowed' to speak ill of a transsexual, a gay person, or a minority. They have attained special group status. But one can say anything under the sun about a white man or an orange man complete with labelling as "white supremacists" and no problem!

Recruitment numbers as you know are way down for the military. I mean, what regular guy wants to participate in an organization that glorifies having two mothers or using only the correct pronouns? We need to call the Progressives out as you did in your comment as "truly insane"!

Thanks vBackman, you're a dear. Happy Independence day! Everything's so out of control in government now. My best hope is that Trump goes back to DC and FIRES every single swamp-creature there and beyond- continuing the MAGA job he started before. Then maybe we can start fresh with some reason & sanity.
