#MASH on #war

Hawkeye: War isn't Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.

Father Mulcahy: How do you figure, Hawkeye?

Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?

Father Mulcahy: Sinners, I believe.

Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them - little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.

M*A*S*H (Original Soundtrack Recording)
1970 Canada pressing

Simultaneously one of my favorite #movies AND #television shows of all time.

The show was CONSTANTLY on in syndication when I was a kid (4 episodes a day on two different channels EVERY day), and that theme song was so haunting to me even as a ten year old.

It took me until I was about 13 to realize that there was a MOVIE first, which came out a whole 2 years previous to the show.

This soundtrack of course has “Suicide Is Painless” on it, as well as dialogue from the movie, including some hilarious intercom announcements.

Robert Altman was on record many times stating he loathed and despised the television show.

Your loss, dude.
