Although Bossy never ever with extra never thinks about it like this: Bossy’s father is a veteran.
The reason Bossy never thinks about her father as a veteran, is because for the majority of Bossy’s life, her father looked like this:
Bossy’s father was in Korea in a MASH unit, which stands for Mobile Army Surgical Hospital:
Bossy’s father’s MASH unit setup was precisely like the TV show, which also took place during the Korean War. Except Bossy’s father was there after the conflict had ended.
Because there was no longer war in the Korean War, Bossy’s father’s medical expertise was mostly put to use treating his fellow army comrades for Syphilis.
When Bossy was a girl, she would watch MASH with her father and ask him questions about the show’s accuracy.
Bossy wants to thank you, Veterans!

November 12, 2012 at 7:43 pmI used to watch MASH with my dad and he would tell me whether or not a scene was accurate!
He was in the Army, but got called up a few years later than Korea when they put up the Berlin Wall.He was away for a whole year.
Thanks for the memories.
PS: If my dad had been on MASH, he would have been played by Alan Alda…except for the drinking and the womanizing. Same sense of humor, though!

November 13, 2012 at 4:29 amYeah, I have to go with Lynn too. More Bossy is good. Makes it more fun to sit at computer if I know Bossy’ll be there with a few words. I sure as hell missed you while you were busy having a life of your own. Glad to see you again.
Veterans are a rare and unique breed. I long for the day we don’t need a military anymore.
