Was Radar actually in this scene? According to IMDB, though he left the show a few years earlier, Radar can be seen here in old footage that they lifted from an earlier bugout episode.
A question to the military experts here: Is "Bug Out" a recognised military order? If someone got on the PA and called out "Bug Out!" would they really all know what to do?
I know what this feels like. When I was in the army, I was part of a Rapid Response Force and we had to be able to assemble and disassemble our medical setup in 30 minutes.
@@patchbunny During filming of Elmer Gantry they had trouble setting a fire for the fire scene. The director asked the on set fire official what they could do. He told them he didn't know. The director said the fireman knew fire otherwise he would have been a police officer. The fireman then said if the ran old film among the streamers then they would have a fire. They did and almost had a disaster it worked so well.
If I'm not mistaken, there were three bug outs in the TV series: 1. The Chinese have broken through, and MASH sets up the OR in a whorehouse. They had to leave Margaret, Radar, and Hawkeye behind with a patient who couldn't be moved. 2. When they moved camp while BJ was trying to organize a reunion of all of the family members in the states. 3. The finale episode. I remember watching the finale when it was broadcast. I was in kindergarten, and the fire scared me.
