* NoLongerWithUs: Played with mightily. When Col. Blanche, of the Luxemburgisch contingent comes to visit his wounded soldier, Lieutenant [=LeClerc=], he's informed that they lost him. Saddened, he declares it the "fortunes of war", but would like to bring the body back with him for proper burial in Luxembourg. He's then informed that not only had they lost him, but they ''lost'' him, as in they have no clue where his body is. ''That'', Blanche opines, is ''not'' the fortunes of war, and adds to the general chaos of the day by demanding the camp turn itself upside down to find him. [[spoiler: Turns out [=LeClerc=] was only NotQuiteDead, went unrecognized because he was comatose and in a full body cast, and manages to wake up and ''walk over to his CO while in the aforementioned full cast'' when the camp plays the Luxemburgisch national anthem in his memory.]]

Hawkeye regales his father with another tale of Korean insanity, this time on a tape recorder. It starts with a bus full of wounded UN soldiers, one of whom is a Turk even Klinger thinks is crazy. Refusing to stay down, no matter how much they drug him, the Turkish Rasputin wakes up before his surgery and escapes. Next, a U.S. soldier pulls up in a jeep and demands, at gunpoint, that his sergeant be taken out of the jeep and given immediate top priority. Colonel Blanche, Commander of Luxumbourg forces, arrives looking for a Lt. Henri Batiste [=LeClerq=], only Radar says [=LeClerq=] is dead and his body is missing. Frank and Trapper operate at gunpoint, Hawkeye tries to stop the murderous Turk on the loose, and finally, Henry arranges a memorial service with a surprise ending.

** Early in the episode, Hawkeye tries to get Lt. Smith to calm down by talking about how the war is different for doctors than it is for front-line soldiers. It doesn't work.
