( Kim ll Sung started the entire Korean War!. He was a brutal communist mass-murderer and leader of North Korea. He was never mentioned on Mash!)
The 1982 Korea War film Inchon ( starting the great and beautiful Jackie Bisset). The filmed opened with an explanation that North Korea started the whole war. This was because of TV's legendary, left-wing Mash never having mentioned this vital fact in all it's nasty bashing of the US and Allies. And the fact that viewers, untrained in history of the KW, wrongly thought the Mash actors were too kind to ever favor a deadly mass-murdering dictatorship like North Korea when they in fact did!
Here is what the show Mash might have caused. I recently bought at a Canadian thrift store a 1999 Canadian Almanac. I read of the Prime Ministers. Louis St. Laurent's own biography did not mention him sending Canadian troops to Korea to fight Kim ll Sung's invading, imperialist forces. Then I looked at a chronology of Canadian history by years and the years of 1950-1953 did not show/mention as years that Canada was sending troops to Korea. Did Mash humiliate the Canadian people at large and so much on the Korean War and Canada being in it that the Almanac writer(s) completely skipped mention of the Canadian part in the KW as often as possible. Was Mash even one percent responsible for this!?!
