* WhatTheHellHero: Hawkeye gets several from the main cast throughout the episode, including twice from Colonel Potter. Mainly, it's because he yelled at Radar. This is on top of the episode-long one he gives himself for his part in Radar getting wounded.

-->'''Radar''': Oh, yeah? Well, you can just forget it. Just forget it! Hell with me, huh? The hell with you! How about that? And another thing, I wanna tell you something, anybody says anything about Iowa better be prepared to back it up, pal. I'll give you a fist-full of Iowa naivete right in the puss! How about that? You know I don't need you to tell me what's what. I know what's what just as well as you do. So why don't you just crawl back in your bottle of booze and pickle yourself? Ha ha!

* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: After Potter makes a wisecrack during surgery:
-->'''Charles:''' Well said, Colonel. Pertinent and pithy persiflage.
-->'''Potter:''' ''(muttering)'' Oh, poo-poo-pa-doo.



* BothSidesHaveAPoint: Radar (and the others) are absolutely right that Hawkeye trying to operate while still having a full night's bingeing worth of alcohol in his system - which is what led to him abandoning an operation to go outside and throw up - was completely irresponsible. ''However'', Hawkeye is equally correct (if needlessly cruel in his phrasing) that Radar's cold attitude towards him after learning of the incident is both hugely unfair and more than a little childish considering that by all accounts this is the first time Hawkeye has made such a screw-up [[DrowningMySorrows and there was a legitimate reason for it to have occurred]], as is the pressure that Radar has placed on him (intentionally or not) due to his hero-worship of Hawkeye - something that Hawkeye himself has never once asked for.
