In the meantime, the Korean war has been mentioned countless number of times in MASH.

  ...which everyone read as "Vietnam".

    ?? I've never met anyone that confused the conflict setting of MASH as Vietnam. Where do you base that on? Because of the time it was aired/produced?

      The show was set in Korea but wad made during the Vietnam war. The Korean setting was a facade for a show that was making commentary on the contemporary situation.

      I always thought MASH was about Vietnam tbh

      It was set in Korea, but the subtext was entirely the Vietnamese conflict, which was happening or recent (ish) for the film (Altman, 1970) and early years of the TV show (1972-1983).
