Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPotter sardonically refers to Hawkeye, who had a black eye from BJ striking him, as "the great John L." This is likely a reference to John L. Sullivan, the first heavyweight champion of gloved boxing.
- GoofsWhen talking to Father Mulcahy in the mess tent, Colonel Potter says, "you wouldn't kid a Presbyterian". But, back when Colonel Potter first assumed command at MASH, he asked Father Mulcahy if he could do a Methodist service.
- Crazy creditsIn an unusual move, the writers' and director's credits at the beginning of the episode are framed on the screen so as to not block Col. Potter's face while he is speaking on the phone.

Featured review
Touching and truthful. War is hell and loads of sacrifice.
Such an amazing episode that highlights what I imagine people serving their country especially during war and have to leave their spouses and children.
The speech at the end by BJ is heartbreaking. He truly captured the feeling of loss that a war takes away. The moments, the days, the years you can never get back, lost forever. The damness and evil of War. Its not that I dont appreciate and respect the sacrifice these men and women make that we should thank them every day but there is a certain amount of unfairness.
Anyway Mike farrell gives an amazing performance. I also love the reference to Trapper. It was fitting in that moment to include him.
