Line 138:
** In another episode, Hawkeye wants to surrender. Margaret already pointed out that if they surrender, the nurses would have their bodies violated over and over again. Hawkeye tries to surrender anyway, even though Henry said he couldn't. When it doesn't work out, nobody says anything to Hawkeye, not even Frank and Margaret, both of whom want to get rid of him. This would be a legitimate chance. He disobeyed orders and tried to surrender when he still had the means to resist. This would be a court-martial offense, one that would likely land him in prison, yet no one says anything.
*** As a hospital, the doctors ''weren't'' able to resist. Medical officers are not permitted to fire or even carry weapons. Normally, the hospital would have had the real soldiers armed and hunting for the sniper.
*** In addition, one lone sniper is physically incapable of capturing the camp even if nobody offers armed resistance because ''there's only one of him and a whole camp full of people''. Hawkeye's proposal basically boils down to trying to declare a truce so they can recover their wounded -- which is sound military practice given the circumstances.
** Another time, Hawkeye drugs Frank and puts him in a bed in Post-Op so he can have a party.
** Another time, when Frank is passed out, Hawkeye puts a toe tag on him and ships him off like he's dead.
