* DesignatedVillain: All Frank ever did at first was defend Margaret's honour by using a towel snap on Hawkeye. This earns him a punch in the face from Hawkeye, ignorance by most of the camp, and a WhatTheHellHero from Henry Blake for wanting Hawkeye trialled for the offence when Frank is in full right to demand it. He is then forced to watch as the camp continually shows Hawkeye a great deal of respect, even by the MP guards and Father Mulcahy. And then he is framed by Colonel Reese and is charged with attempted rape.

* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: The two above tropes are why this was perhaps the nadir of this trope in the show. This is one of the few times that Hawkeye was unreservedly in the wrong (he did assault a superior officer, and not only that, he did it for the petty reason of DisproportionateRetribution) and yet the entire ''UNIVERSE'' seems to conspire to make it Frank's fault and have him suffer expressly because he's [[ButtMonkey Frank]]. Hawkeye gets a free vacation, water buffalo steaks and is treated like Jack the Giant Killer. Frank gets wrongly accused of rape. It's like watching [[WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants Squidward]] if he was written for adults.
