I saw in one early episode where everyone thought the war was coming to an
end, except for Trapper. Nurse Margie Cutler approaches Hawkeye concearning
his plans for them after the war, and Hawkeye says, "Um, I have a confession
to make. I'm suffering from terminal marriage." Or something like that. But
he did say "Terminal Marraige".

Now the character Hawkeye in the Robert Altman film was married, remembering
just before the shower tent went up on Hot Lips, him saying to a nurse on
her way to the shower that the pictures of his kids had arrived.

The nurses thought Hawkeye was going to take them home after the war and get
married. He said that because he *didn't* want to marry any of the nurses, or
anyone else for that matter. (Except for Carlye Breslin)

HAWKEYE MARRIED?! WHAT? No way, he said that so he didn't have to see
any people from MASH 4077 at home. If you were trying to aviod
ex-boyfriend/girlfriends wouldnt you not want to see them when you
moved? Exaccly, the MOVIE? He just said that to get the nurses away
from HOTLIPS so they would only see HOTLIPS naked...=)

No, Hawkeye was married in the movie. He admitted it to Lt. Dish while he
was trying to seduce her; certainly a situation when an admission of
marriage is not something one'd invent. And Painless alluded to Hawkeye's
wife during his confession. The movie is more faithful to the book than
the series is in this respect.

TV Hawkeye was single. He was lying to Margie because she was talking
about staying together after the war, and he needed a way out of the
relationship. Later in the episode he says, "I gave up three nurses
for an imaginary wife and family."

In that episode, the end of the war seems at hand so he tells the
nurses that he is married so can release himself from any post-war
entaglements. That's at least the impression I got.
