@RWWFilm Not sure it hits the same without a draft.

@ManMadeMoon I think there's a whole "misled into enlisting based on government misinformation and militarization of patriotism" that could work, but yeah, it's not apples to apples for sure.

@RWWFilm You know what’s funny? I just read a great feature today following a medic in a war zone and told the writer “no one’s done this MASH sorta concept as a series but in contemporary terms.” A few tried and failed I guess. Hard show to pull off. But maybe this is a sign. 😝

@SPMJM Just get me in the room when you sell it, Matt.

@RWWFilm This was pretty close:

@prex4 Interesting. Never heard of it!

@RWWFilm Early 2000’s with multinational hospitals. I remember Egypt had one on Bagram Airbase. Handled mostly women and children.

@RWWFilm They would get canceled for a lot of the comedy.

@RWWFilm That might actually be interesting. You know what's crazy to think about? Hogan's Heroes came out around twenty years after WWII. I can't imagine anything like that coming out nowadays about the Uraq War.

@RWWFilm Don't give them ideas

@RWWFilm Shhhh... Don't give them ideas!

@RWWFilm Lightning in a bottle with the talent and story telling.

@RWWFilm Was legit thinking about this a couple nights ago, discussing the very few TV war comedy series…feels like it would be almost impossible in the current climate, but maybe necessary?

@RWWFilm And thank goodness for that

@RWWFilm I don’t know, given that we were setting up torture camps and such during that war, might be too much for even bitter humor

@RWWFilm They should cast Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye. Don’t even acknowledge the coincidence.

@RWWFilm There actually was a 🇨🇦/🇺🇸 TV series set in Afghanistan called Combat Hospital. Not literally a M*A*S*H reboot, of course, but in spirit (it was hr long eps. but mixed comedy and drama, like a later-season M*A*S*H).

@RWWFilm Why would you put that out there?!?! 😄

@RWWFilm

@RWWFilm The BBC's Bluestone 42 was very, very funny.
