Only because I've been second hand absorbing the show because my dad watches it just about every night, Frank Burns from the TV show adaptation of mash.
He was a crazy fink who ended up going AWOL over a nurse and still somehow ended up not getting arrested.
You can always frag your CO
It is always morally correct
Yeah, I think there were several instances he probably should have been arrested
Wait. Tv show adaptation? What other media is there?
Apparently there's a book that came before the movie, published in '68 by 2 people going under the pen name Richard Hooker, and then came a sequel after the success of the movie. MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors followed by MAS*H Goes To Maine.
I didn't known this before having to look up Frank's name. And I'm not sure, thankfully, that my dad knows this or he'd definitely be on the lookout for copies any time he's at a thrift store.
Thanks mate. I just tossed those on my reading list
