    First, I would have written Klinger out of the script. His presence is a slap against the US Military!

    I would have promoted Hawkeye to Major and busted hateful Frank Burns to Captain. I would also have cut down on Hawkeye's continuous smart-ass jokes and puns.

    I would have promoted Father MulCahey to Captain.

    I would have made a MAN out of Radar: Taken away his Teddy Bear, refused Grape Nehi soda at Rosie's Bar, and let him sample real adult drinks...also, promoted him to Sergeant and introduced him to Women!

    Colonel Potter stays...he plays a real hard-nosed, experienced veteran Officer.

    Hot Lips Houlihan stays unchanged! She shows a woman in all her emotions!

    If these changes were made, I doubt if the series would have lasted more than one episode!
