I don't think i've ever mentioned being a fan of MASH on here. In the nineties, it used to be repeated on Sky One* at half seven every weekday night, and dad used to put it on. I was just a kid, so I probably didn't appreciate the tragic aspects to it, but I remember liking it. Now that another, probably even more catastrophic war on the Korean Peninsula seems imminent, I find myself wondering what Hawkeye Pierce would make of all this. He would no doubt have a few wisecracks to make about Trump, yet as ever those quips would hide a deeper understanding of the dangerousness and underlying tragedy of the situation. With that in mind, perhaps it's appropriate to direct you here today.

*I probably ought to note that I had begged my parents to get Sky tv so I could watch wwf wrestling when I was little. That was, of course, well before I realised what an utter scumbag Rupert Murdoch is.
