i hope so i hope they get mad at me
so the basic conflict structure in mash is hawkeye and trapper defying military rules on the basis of actually trying to help people, and frank and margaret in turn trying to uphold military rules - but! these two are not doing it for the the same reasons.
frank is pro-military bc he buys into mccarthyism / american pro-war propaganda. but margaret does it bc she believes that order and structure are good. and also the war is very serious to her, and hawkeye and trapper not taking military rules seriously translates to her as not taking the war seriously.
but whenever there are people who need help it's very clear hawkeye and trapper do take it seriously, they just don't extend that courtesy to any other aspect of their stay. margaret wants to enforce the rules bc she believes they are in place to help to help people. that adhering to structure and discipline is what will help people most.
this is why when it comes down to it, margaret is actually more on hawkeye and trapper's side, all it really takes for her is a series of events that force her to realise and confront that the military does not actually have the good of the people as it's objective.
in conclusion: i can fix her
reading Rabbi Jonathan Sacks’ book “To Heal a Fractured World” and this passage is reminding me so much of Hawkeye
