What is the TV show MASH about?
The show was set during the Korean War (1950-53) and was about life in a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (hence the acronym: M.A.S.H.). Korea was the first conflict in which the concept of front line medical/surgical care was introduced to the ugly business of war, and was an unparalleled success. The lead characters were surgeons and allied health care personnel. The Armed Forces had no previous experience with doctors on the front line, and the show reflected the difficulty of imposing army discipline on surgeons. In 1972, 19 years after the close of the Korean conflict, "MASH 4077" debuted, at the height of the Viet Nam conflict. The humor, as well as the seriousness of the subject matter reflected strong antiwar feelings that were widespread at that time.

Through early morning fog I see
visions of the things to be
the pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see
That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please
The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
so this is all I have to say
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please
The sword of time will pierce our skins
it doesn't hurt when it begins
but as it works its way on in
the pain grows stronger....watch it grin
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please
A brave man once requested me
to answer questions that are key
'is it to be or not to be'
and I replied 'oh why ask me?'
'Cause suicide is painless
it brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please
.... and you can do the same thing if you choose
