Farewell Korea

"Trapper" John McIntyre

I never thought I'd have the opportunity to leave this dump, but now that I finally have, I feel guilty. I left some of the most amazing people I've ever met in this hellhole, and I get to go back to the land free of dysentery and rats. Aside from all that, I've left my best friend. Left him there, to continue with the life of meatball surgery, horrible food, and, well, dysentery. If only I could have found a way to say goodbye. A note perhaps, but that wouldn't have sufficed.

How can you sum up an entire year of support, comfort and friendship into a measly letter to tell the person who stayed by your side, how much they meant to you? Hawkeye wasn't just a bunkmate. Frank Burns was just a bunkmate, a guy who stayed in the same tent. In a way, Frank was more I guess. He wasn't a terrible surgeon. He wasn't the greatest mind you. But all in all still a good person, even if he was all up on military protocol and procedures. Even Hot-lips presence was enjoyable.

Hot-Lips Houlihan. Now there's someone I don't think I'll ever forget. She really needs to let her guard down more often. I can still remember when Frank outlawed alcohol on the camp, and me, Hawkeye and Margaret polished off her brandy in the Swamp. Boy was Frank mad! That was one of the enjoyable times. If she would let go of her military ways, even just a little, she might have been a little more enjoyable. Maybe then I would have had a shot when we were stuck in the Supply Tent. Nah! She still would have been devoted to ole' Ferret Face.

Hawk. I pray that he gets out too, soon, and alive. He's the most talented guy we have there. Or, should I say they have there. It's going to be hard without him. He's been such a huge part of my daily life. Eating, showering, drinking, surgery; I don't know how I'm going to be able to do it without him. I hope that he doesn't get stuck with a surgeon who is just like Frank, and then he'll be in for it. Hopefully, he's another draftee like we were, I'm sure he'd get along great with him then.

I don't know if it was just me, but I think Hawk has a little something for Margaret. Well, I guess only time will tell on that one. I know I am sure gonna miss those nurses though.

Farewell Korea,
