This series about the Vietnam War depicted the atrocities of the war and how the soldiers were not preceived as heroes. In my opinion this is one of the better shows that proves that no man is safe from the bitter reality of war. Most films and shows follow the same lines by having the star of the show live through any ordeal. This program broke the mold for all following shows and we need more like this one. I am happy to see this show because I remembered watching this when I was growing up and this made me want to learn more about the history of our fighting men and women of the Vietnam War Era.

M*A*S*H
(1972–1983)
Forgotten Time
12 December 2000
The TV show M*A*S*H proves that laughter really is the best medicine to cure any wounds. This movie provided humorous insight to an otherwise overlooked time in American society. Every character provided a different perspective on the evils of war with their uses of satire. The script writers use satire to provide a look at the evils of war. I have seen the re-runs of this American classic series and I still find them hilarious to this day. I am so pleased that television stations decided to re air this otherwise forgotten show. I am glad that the directors and producers of this show depicted an otherwise forgotten time in American history. And I am sure that the veterans of the Korean War are happy that this show was made to show their experiences in this war and made their trials known to the public.
