Why don't they just go home? (Wrong Answers Only)
Just about every episode of MASH I've seen, somebody claims that they hate Korea, or that they hate the stupid Army, or that they don't even know why they're at war. I don't get it. Why don't they all go home? If nobody wants to work there, how come they never leave?
Please respond with wrong answers.

Rosie's bar has been micro-dosing everyone with opium. They get "home sick" when they try to leave camp for more than a day or two. The doctors and hot lips know. But the addiction has them too far gone to fight it anymore.
"Be it ever so crumbled, there is no place like home." Darkest one so far. Awesome!
At least Radar got out!
Technically he left AND died. Perhaps the others from the early seasons were also "Shot down over the Sea of Japan"

Hot Lips.
I asked for wrong answers, but that's good too.
You're supposed to ask why Hot Lips is there.
Yeah! Why is Hot Lips there anyway?
I'm glad you asked. Hot Lips Houlihan, the woman who could talk a snake out of its skin, is staying in Vietnam. She's hawking war bonds to grunts! I swear she could sell ice cream to an Eskimo.
Everyone wants to know where Spearchucker went. They're afraid to leave anyone behind.
Spearchucker Jones was either shot down over the Sea of Japan, or he was on that prequel spin-off with Ugly John, Before MASH
Hawkeye’s booze is better and cheaper than they can get in the States
That's why Colonel Potter and B.J. were hooked immediately!
