Cultural Facts:

1. Personal Struggle: The film used a Korean War field hospital to show surgeons coping with death through booze, sex, jokes, and emotional numbness.

2. Studio Lore: “Suicide Is Painless” had lyrics by director Robert Altman’s teenage son Mike, who later earned serious royalties from the song.

3. Media Narrative: The soundtrack helped sell MAS*H as anti-war comedy, turning battlefield trauma into something bitter, funny, and hard to file cleanly.
