Towards the end of the M*A*S*H farwell program I and the hordes that were
present remarked on the fact that Hawkeye Pearse saluted Col. Potter just
before saying good-bye. One individual stated that Hawkeye never saluted
anyone to which the imediate response was that he saluted Col. Blake just as
he left. From this point the discussion broke down into who has Hawkeye
Pearse saluted in the whole 11 years (or however long it has been) he's been
making a mockery of the US army?
We came up with a total of 5 including Col.s Blake and Potter. The other
two were Raidar when he left, Frank Burns when, in retaliation for several
practical jokes played on Hawkeye by Frank, Hawkeye pulled up the canopy on
the latrine to reveal Frank on the throne reading "Stars and Stripes" and
finally when I believe it was Raidar who accidently pulled the towel off of
a nurse who he was feeling sweet on causing her to run naked across the
compound. You didn't actually see the naked nurse (shucks) but you did see
Raidar standing dumbfounded holding the towel and Hawkeye Pearse standing at
attention saluting proudly.
Can anyone else out there remember any other times that Hawkeye saluted
on M*A*S*H?

(waiting in the graphics lab

to salute any naked female
nurse who may happen to run
past. She doesn't even have
to be a nurse, I'm not an engineer)
