In fact, the only Marvel character who existed during the Korean War was ComicBook/CaptainAmerica. Radar really ought to have been a DC fan, as ComicBook/{{Superman}}, ComicBook/{{Batman}}, ComicBook/WonderWoman, [[ComicBook/GreenLantern1941 The Green Lantern]], and ComicBook/TheFlash were all popular in the '40s and would have been well-known to any young man serving in Korea.

* "Dear Dad... Three" repeats the then-commonly held, but [[DatedHistory since disproven]], "fact" Dr. Charles Drew died after being refused treatment at a whites-only hospital (he was admitted to a hospital, but was too badly injured, and a blood transfusion would have likely killed him from shock), which Hawkeye mentions was "recent". Dr. Drew died April 1, 1950, a few months before the start of the Korean War, and the episode's subplot revolves around the camp having a monthly meeting for the first time in six months, putting the episode's date no earlier than January 1951, and as it isn't a winter episode, likely much later in the year, meaning Dr. Drew's death would be more accurately described as "a year ago".

** According the [[http://www.history.army.mil/brochures/kw-stale/stale.htm U.S. Army Center of Military History]] “…a soldier earned four points for every month he served in close combat, two points per month for rear-echelon duty in Korea, and one point for duty elsewhere in the Far East…The Army initially stated that enlisted men needed to earn forty-three points to be eligible for rotation back to the States, while officers required fifty-five points. In June 1952 the Army reduced these requirements to thirty-six points for enlisted men and thirty-seven points for officers.”

* Virtually all fatigues worn in camp are of the OG-107 model, which was introduced in late 1952. More likely a unit in Korea would have been wearing the OD-7 herringbone twill utility uniforms that were a holdover from World War II, at least until the very end of the Korean War. And indeed, many of the ones actually used were later versions, including button cuffs (introduced in the mid 60s) and the cotton-polyester permanent press version, which weren't introduced until the 1970s. Despite this they usually got the dress uniforms spot on, using the older "pinks and greens" style officers uniforms, which were replaced with a new green suit after Korea.

*** On the other hand, radio serial programs had been around for 20-30 years, and movies for over 50 years, so it's possible that Hawkeye had heard this term used before with regards to those forms of media (According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, the first use of "rerun" as a noun dates to 1922).
