Overview
Hawkeye is named “Officer of the Day”, which means he has to tend to various routine matters throughout the camp, including Colonel Flagg wanting a communist prisoner of war patched up so he can be executed.
It is in this episode where Hawkeye expresses his feelings for guns...
"I will not carry a gun, Frank. When I got thrown into this war I had a clear understanding with the Pentagon: no guns. I'll carry your books, I'll carry a torch, I'll carry a tune, I'll carry on, carry over, carry forward, Cary Grant, cash and carry, carry me back to Old Virginia, I'll even 'hari-kari' if you show me how, but I will not carry a gun!"
