I just watched "Welcome to Korea" and I was wondering. When Radar & Hawkeye
arrive at kempo there is a PA announcement for a sergeant to report
somewhere... The voice sounds a lot like Wayne Rogers. Is it ??


Just wondering,

No.

Wayne was long gone when we recorded that PA announcement.

Isn't that why the show set up his departure the way it did, because he was
long gone by the time they filmed the episode? I thought that was the whole
reason we didn't see him leave.

Yep. He left between season 3 end and season 4 start.

I think it still would have been nice or interesting to have Trapper
leave Hawkeye at least something like a letter or something...

Just to have him leave without even a good-bye kind of made their
friendship worth nothing...

He did leave him a kiss but that was coming from Radar and it meant
something but not a whole whole lot...

I'm not sure it made their friendship worth nothing... but it did leave
an empty "if only" type of feeling - one that I have dwelled on each
time I watch my old tapes - and I think that's a good thing. Just like I
wish Henry didn't have to die; but at the same time I realise how
powerful and thought-provoking that twist turned out to be. Those sorts
of things always contribute to my feeling of M*A*S*H being so much more
than a tv-sitcom that is entertaining while you are watching it but
quickly forgotten soon after. Trapper leaving without saying goodbye,
Henry dying - those sorts of things stay with you forever.
