Line 83:
* In one episode of ''[[MASH|M* A* S* H]]'', Hawkeye refuses to leave to work for a general, because the men come first. He demands that the general admit it, and the general, with a sigh, does.
** [[The Neidermeyer|Major]] [[Jerkass|Frank]] [[Eagle Land|Burns]] sometimes get yelled by other characters for refusing to treat the most wounded first (or improperly setting up Triage) because the wounded weren't "the right type" (aka Not American)
*** Of course, at the time
*** Even nowadays enemy wounded can be moved to the bottom of the triage list if deemed necessary, although 'necessary' is usually defined as 'we have to finish checking these guys for suicide bombs or hidden weapons first'.
** There was another episode of ''[[MASH|M* A* S* H]]'' where it was payday, but due to a goat eating the pay, there wasn't enough money to pay everyone. Colonel Potter said that the enlisted men should be paid before the officers, and none of the officers disagreed with him.
** Another episode centered around Major Weems and his visit to the camp to visit his wounded men. He always visited his engineers after getting clobbered in combat and tried to work deals with doctors to get them sent home. {{spoiler|Inverted in that Weems was a closet racist, and 90% of his casualties were African Americans that he sent into harm's way just so he could get them out of his outfit.}}
