A/N If anyone is waiting to see what 'BJ's view' on Hawkeye is I am keeping that as the last one to be posted although some of it has already been written.
Frank
How do I describe Frank? He is simply one person who won't change. He is a 'man' who liked to play around, at least it was only one woman. I'll never forget his face when his wife wrote to him wanting a divorce. He claimed Margaret was an "old war horse".
How is it fair that a man who was unfaithful to his wife, mean to all human beings who didn't agree with him and doesn't have one ounce of morality become promoted because he 'flipped out' whilst on R&R, all because his mistress got married to someone who wasn't him.
I suppose I should say something nice about Major Frank Burns but I just can't think of anything immediately. Ok, so Frank did try to be 'one of the lads' every now and then, but he would always do something which would let everyone down. Hawkeye and I couldn't believe that he actually seemed to enjoy being in the army, and in Korea. Oh, the only think I can now think of that could be seen as a good point about dear old Frank is that he was definitely a patriotic American through and through (although he didn't have much care for his fellow man). You'd have thought he was a regular army man. He was a weasel (or should I say Ferret). Always giving Koreans and enlisted men a hard time. They'd never done anything wrong. Radar, Hawkeye and I always managed to sort out these situations and there were a lot of them. Frank 'Ferret Face' Marion Burns is money mad. He'd charge his own mother (and I'm sure he has) to make him rich, he'd snitch on her too.
That just about sums up the details on old Ferret Face except to say things were better when he'd gone, Margaret seemed happier too.
