M*A*S*H – What Even Die Hard Fans Don’t Know!

Hawkeye Was No Fan of Guns

Hawkeye despised guns. Even thought the Army had regulations he would never have a sidearm when he was Officer of the Day. Potter pleaded that Hawkeye have a pistol on him when they went to an aid station. He did not comply in a very graceful manner; he screamed and shot rounds into the sky.

That is like being a lifeguard and not wanting to get in the water. It does not make sense to be in the military and not like guns. There are just too many things wrong with that situation; it would have been better if he stayed out of the military in the first place if that was the case.
