Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce: To Erin Hunnicutt, I leave a list of all the young men your daddy took care of while he was in Korea. Many of them have him to thank for being alive today. I want you to understand why he had to be away from you those first years of your life. I hope I have the chance to give you this list in person, but around here you never know.

A Very Human Episode
While B.J. is off getting a haircut and manicure, Hawkeye is forced to go to Battallion Aid because they have lost their doctor. It is supposed to be B.J.'s turn to go to the front and he is riddled with guilt. Hawkeye meets a doctor who works under horrific conditions, getting patients stable enough to send them off to the MASH. As he works there is mortar fire. It seem that the man he is replacing was killed. Hawkeye begins to pen a will. He leaves most everything to his father and then begins to think of appropriate things to give to his friends. They are items generally of no value, but right for the recipient. Back at the MASH no one knows if he is alive. This episode delves into the humanity of these people. It's hard to fathom how awful it would be to face death at every turn.
