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.

@milagemayvary @SrRochardBunson very powerful/deep scene, but even thinking about the theme song makes me sleepy, worst then counting sheep.

Mash and Black Sheep Squadron, imo, are a select group of "war media" that's honest about its reality.
