The units were first established in August 1945, and were deployed during the Korean War and later conflicts. The movie and TV show seem to be completely about something different. The Mobile Army Surgical Hospital ( MASH) refers to a United States Army medical unit serving as a fully functional hospital in a combat area of operations. In the REAL army of that period, their shenanigans would have them in court-martial in less time than you could say "I like Ike." Everyone excepting Radar, Father Mulchay and Spearchucker comes across as stuck-up morons. I guess they feel they are such good surgeons that they don't have to obey any Army regulations. Hawkeye and Trapper just walk over anyone and everybody to have their way. In the movie however, despite Trapper avenging Frank's blaming an intern for a soldiers death and Hawkeye's helping Painless's "problem", I found the movie's characters extremely self-centered, hard-nosed, mean-spirited and hubristic. Hawkeye, Trapper or BJ might have teased Frank, Hot Lips or Winchester, but always with a twinkle in their eye. The TV show's characters had a warmth and comradeship, especially in the later seasons. I too, like another reviewer, had seen this pic only after being accustomed to the TV series.
