Line 214:
* [[Berserk Button]]: Cruelty to horses, or even borrowing Sophie without asking. Used by BJ and Winchester to get rid of an unwanted companion.
* [[Colonel Badass]]: Potter served in the cavalry [[World War I]] ''and'' [[World War II]], after which he earned a medical degree and served as a surgeon in Korea. He is immensely proud of his Good Conduct Medal with gold clasp, which only an enlisted soldier is eligible for; identifying him as an Army mustang -- an enlisted man who became an officer.
* [[A Father to His Men]]
* [[Happily Married]]
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Harry Morgan earlier played a general who showed up to inspect and review the 4077th.
** He was also a mainstay in westerns, and Sgt. Bill Gannon on ''[[Dragnet]]''. (One wonders if Harry Morgan was ''ever'' a young man.)
* [[Military Moonshiner]]: When stationed in Guam during [[World War
* [[Old Soldier]]: As noted above, he's a career soldier who served in both World Wars.
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Career Army like Houlihan, but is capable of relaxing certain regulations when needed. Including, with morale plummeting and a pair of corpsmen tasked to [[Kill It with Fire]] on some infected uniforms going overboard, giving in and instructing the camp to build 'one regulation bon-type fire'.
