MASHmouth Valiantly Off Balance

This week, we’re introduced to Smilin’ Jack Mitchell, a chopper pilot desperate to stay in the action and break the record for most transported wounded. Meanwhile, a wounded soldier is desperate to never have to go back to the front again. Does this episode remind anyone else of Season One’s “Cowboy?”
