* ArtisticLicenseMilitary: If not for the dire need of surgeons, it's likely that Frank would've had the book thrown at him for his attempt to unlawfully usurp command. Under the US Army rules, the XO (Burns) is legally not permitted to make changes to the unit while the CO (Potter) is away for reasons other than total incapacitation or permanent reassignment (Potter was on R&R).

Added DiffLines:

* FateWorseThanDeath: Frank is fine with Hawkeye being sentenced to death "or worse". Hawkeye being Hawkeye, he plays this up to the hilt.
-->'''Hawkeye:''' Not only does he want my ''life'', Frank also wants my ''virginity!''
-->'''B.J.:''' We all do.


Added DiffLines:

-->'''Hawkeye:''' Major Burns' recounting of events was to say the least interesting. It was to say the ''most'', perjury.

Odd conclusion, execution is an actual verdict of a courtmartial, rape on the otherhand is not. This would most likely be hyperbole on Frank’s part

* LaughTrack: While the laugh track has always been on the show (though, on DVD sets, you do have the option to turn it off), this episode is notable for being the only time the laughter can be heard in the O.R. Of course, that's because it's only happening in [[SmallNameBigEgo Frank]]'s version of the events leading to the court martial. Considering the laughter is silent as usual in Hawkeye's story (except when Frank is being dragged out), this might clue one in that Frank's story is not true....
