I have a theory that Hawkeye used to call BJ Trap because he wasn't used to not having him around, and BJ in response got the moustache so he would be unmistakable in Hawk's mind.

There's much to be said about the original mash book in general and I don't want to give it much credit here but one thing that I like in it is the way the author refers to Hawkeye as "the hawk" regularly. Like as in "Trapper and the hawk looked down the corridor" or something to that effect. I can't figure out how to explain why I like that so much but it makes me wonder if in his own mind or mental narrative that Hawkeye thinks of himself as THE hawk as well. Idk

#the Trapper and The Hawk also changes the dynamic of Hawkey as main guy and Trapper as sidekick

maybe it’s because i watch ‘O.R.’ more than i watch ‘where there’s a will, there’s a war’ but it always makes me a lil sad the way people react to bj recognizing Hawkeye’s stitches as this, like, super touching, never been done before moment while forgetting that trap also easily recognized his stitches early on.

i get that it’s not, like, a climactic scene (as in trapper didn’t spend the entire episode thinking hawkeye was dead), so the recognition isn’t quite as satisfying, but TO ME it’s super cute. this, like, casual, under the radar depiction of trapper knowing hawkeye and his hands and his work but quietly.

anyway.
