Anachronisms: When Radar says he is looking for a Floyd Hayden and spells out H-A-Y-D-E-N. Hawkeye follows it up with M-O-U-S-E. However, the Mickey Mouse Club did not actually begin airing until 1955, 2 years after the Korean War ended.

Quotes:

Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce: [knocking on Margaret's door] Fuller Brush Man. I have a special today. A back scratcher in the form of a naked doctor.
