Steele wanted to use the chopper at the pad to observe the camp's move, Hawkeye said no dice it's taking a critical patient to Seoul, they argued a little more, then Hawkeye signaled the pilot, "Go!" Then the general yelled at Hawkeye, "You're arrogant! You're insubordinate!" Hawkeye said, "Right! And you're nuts!"

Later seasons when they all knew each other's tricks and gags, it just got better to the point where they could keep bouncing it off each other.

    M*A*S*H was on the air before my time but it’s cool to see Harry Morgan on the show a year before he was cast as Colonel Potter. It was perfect that the General Steele character was such a nut. I love how Hawkeye, Colonel Blake, and the helicopter pilot were just staring at him like “are you serious, you nutcase”, and the judge just zips up his binder like “case dismissed”.

    That is General Steele with 3 e's not necessarily in a row. He comes from a long line of family members who served in the Army. Later Harry Morgan became Coronal Sherman T. Potter. I'm not to sure but I believe he appeared in every tv show about the old west during the 1960's. You think of a show and I bet Mr. Morgan was in it.

    We need more of this type of humor more than ever. Kids today can't even comprehend what we saw growing up: The Jefferson's, Archie Bunker, Dave Chapelle, Andrew Dice Clay, George Carlin, et al. Nowadays, kids are glued to their computers playing war games...alone in their "safe space". Last night I met someone exactly my age but the opposite color. Amazing how we connected and laughed when having an excellent talk about culture and what we experienced growing up. We grew up with the same experiences from the 1970/80's. Older folk talk "to" each other vs "at" each other like today's youth...and respect a helluva a lot more. We can laugh at our differences and have fun vs being a prude politically correct moron thinking the world owes us something.
