( Kim ll Sung was a mass-murderer/North Korean communist leader who started the whole Korean War! Never mentioned at all in Mash!)

When Mash premiered in 1972 it was not a ratings hit immediately. It barely survived the first season. But by year two it was beginning to be a hit. The public was taking with this often bad pro-communist propaganda. By the end of season it was winning Emmys. Now in 1975 with this show a hit to millions Pres. Gerald Ford made the fatal and fatefully bad decision not to send South Vietnam any more US military aid. Did the millions of people making anti-US Mash a big show by then having anything at all to do with his decision?

PS Ho Chi Minh who headed North Vietnam until 1969 was a brutal mass-murderer ( see my postings). Alda won an Emmy in 1974 for Mash!
