May I thread jack for a moment and wonder how old all you MASH fans are? As for myself, I am a hardcore fan, having all the major actors', beginning to end, autographs as well as all 11 seasons, but I was born in 1984. That was a year after the season finale. I was just wondering if any are as young as I or younger...

I'm so happy to see such young fans of this wonderful show. I, myself, was born in 1970, so I've seen the series, in originals, from start to finish. Granted, I was very little in the beginning -- but I watched with my parents. I was 13 (I'm now 37) when I watched the finale ... and can remember it like it was yesterday.

This song makes them look gay. I LOVE their friendship, and Jars of Clay is good ... but I'm pretty sure if you showed THEM this video, they'd be weirded out by what it implies- even if you didn't mean it that way.

[tvjunkie1013]

Um ... seriously ... I did put in the description that this BJ/Hawkeye vid was *intended* to be slashy. I most certainly *did* mean it that way ... and I think if either actor saw it, they really wouldn't care much either way.

I was born in 1963 and I can tell you many of my generation loved MASH. In Australia it started when I was about 13 years old. I have always lived my life though the principles of the show. I adored Hawkeye and am still looking for him. Warm, compassionate, human, honest, ego centric.....what a great character....if only I could find him in real life!

Hawkeye was a less grounded character than BJ. Nevertheless, he did his job to preserve life in the face of death, to find sanity where there was never meant to be any. To do so, he counldn't act in a mature way. Jokes and women preserved him.

@ladyway2003 I am 17 and have watched near enough every episode, my family hate it when I start quoting parts of episodes, I adore it

[TraineeHero]

@ladyway2003 I adore MASH. I think it is definitely one of the best shows ever. And I was born in 1991.

I was born in 93 and I saw a couple eps when i was a kid and i loved MASH then i went off the air so i recently started watching it again. But this vid is awesome and yeah i think there bond could be seen this way so good job.

I did read it. Regardless of the creators intent this video means something else to most of the viewers-and maybe that's what you should consider. 99 percent of the people who see this video are moved by it and to me, at the end of the day, that's more powerful than anything else intended.

[Pamathey]

@joedimaggiosgirl Obviously YOU didn't read the reply that the owner of the video gave to me, which validated my perception. No, I've not been in a war, but that doesn't mean that I can't appreciate male bonding.

[joedimaggiosgirl]

@Pamathey

You obviously have never been in a war. My dad was-you develop close relationships with other men, they become your family and your link back home and you come to love them. The relationship between the characters of hawkeye and Bj are realistic-you find that one person who keeps you sane-they keep you from going mad. So, yes, it is two men loving one another. Knowing the actors outlook on life/the characters they wouldn't see anything wrong with this at all.
