My Silent Generation grandfather was the standard amount of pro-military for a working class man born in the 30s and MASH was one of his favorite shows before Fox News ate his brain when he was in his early 80s. He thought the jokes were funny and liked watching Frank Burns get his comeuppance because he was a jerk. He didn't think the sets looked much like how he remembered Korea. He liked Trapper better than BJ.

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense.

After that first comment, I did start to think about how “pro-military” actually means different things to different people. There’s probably a sizeable population who consider the military to be overall noble, have a lot of respect for service members, but would also happily join in with the type of jokes on MASH that are often aimed at obstructive bureaucracy, egotistical generals, and war profiteering.
