Why does America have a modern civilized nation, but the United States of America has deceived the weak Vietnamese people because America hatched secretly conspiracy with the North Government to use the Army forces to overthrow South Vietnam without had respected both agreements treaties when America approved sovereignty of the Republic of Vietnam, America had not had approved North Vietnam?  

For that reason, we would like to ask the Senate a few questions: How should have whether the Senate of America independently kept the

In the war ended, America has strongly betrayed the Republic of Vietnam by the saying of Kissinger, "Vietnam failures we did to ourselves” when he is self-confessed wrongful war actions, "he said,” The Vietnam War required us to emphasize the national interest rather than abstract principle, what President and I tried to do was unnatural.

So both the United States Treaties above were not efficacy for peaceful Vietnam

Therefore, we would like to ask for the Senate of America to review the ethical conscience of America in the Vietnam War.

For the United States of America was aggressive war when it has been occupying the Republic of Vietnam from 1954 to 1975 in which was not the customary law of war of the supreme law of the land of our modern civilized Age, but based on the modern weapons of America occupied a small country like the Republic of Vietnam. In fact, the first time America came to South Vietnam when the United States of America has mobilized us to fight anti-communism, but the ended, America secretly shook hands with mainland China to live in peace.

Because America and the Republic of Vietnam had agreed to pay the taxation to each other, the American people and the Vietnamese people are equal to each other. So the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the Republic of Vietnam are too, no one government violated crime to each other.

According to this bill of the shameful of the United States Congress sending for the all of the Southern officers of prisoners of war a bitter-source scold because the US Congress has enacted H.R. 7885 Foreign Assistance Act in 1963 to persuade the Republic of Vietnam to fight against communism, but the end, the Government of the United States of America did not enforce this bill when America has sold off the Republic of Vietnam to communism. So the bill’s H.R 7885 had sold off the human rights, the Freedom, the sovereignty, and all of the sacred dignity of the Vietnamese people, and the Republic of Vietnam to communism during America has deprived rights of the life of the Southern people and the Southern officers. Let America play the inhuman war in South Vietnam. In contrast, America has forcefully forced us to cut and run out of the Republic of Vietnam when we, the Southern Officers, did not only betray our ancestors but also had the treason our fatherland to let us follow behind the American Armed Forces. Even worse, the Government of the United States of America has sold us to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. Therefore, the North Government did not only imprison us but also nationalized all of our properties and small business. Let us come to the United States when we did not have earned any benefits of prisoners of war but also had some years nearby, the United States Congress has enacted for a few of the bills dug up so many conditional ashamed of both sides.

fooled a small national Vietnam and second is an American modern civilized and progressive playing a trick on America's ally, which is the Republic of Vietnam-however, the rich of America gloriously has millionfold the Southern officers of prisoners of war, but the United States Congress has still deceived the Southern Officers of prisoners of war by American law again. Bills to honor us to be enriching for our second mother of American because no army of the whole world had followed with the military occupier in order to betray their nation and people like America has strongly forced the Republic of Vietnam Army Forces to surrender a barbarous enemy when our enemy did not have any international relations and international protocols with America and the Republic of Vietnam.

The ethical conscience of this express bill of the respectful lack of the law of war on the Hague Convention in 1901, since the American President and the US Senate, was approved by the American law. Even good, the US Congress has forcefully enacted the law to the Foreign Assistance Act for the Republic of Vietnam. In the meanwhile, the Government of the United States of America has been signing for a few multilateral treaties and bilateral treaty for the   Republic of Vietnam in which did not only endorse the self-determination of the Southern people but also approved the sovereignty of the Republic of Vietnam by those treaties, by American law which is why a modern civilized and progressive America did not keep the solemn promises with a small country. But America has abuses for the atomic power and the powerful missiles one's self to force the Republic of Vietnam that's unconditional surrenders. In the meanwhile, the American Government has distorted all of the super values of great power and all of the super values of American honors to exchange a little core of interests in the Republic of Vietnam to get the national interests with Communism. Especially, America is a super trader when America looked at the Southern Officers who looked like the slaves of prehistoric America. Therefore, the text of this bill has contained the full enslaved smell without had little human rights of American humanism because on the playing war yard does not only have equally but also one side was lost defeated, so the lost war ought to compensate for the injured war. That is why the United States Congress has fooled us for a second time. In the meanwhile, the United States Congress has fully understood the Southern officers of prisoners of war were sacrificed our wonderful life to protect the core of interests of America by the invaded war of America which is why the richest of the

(102) Shown Here: Introduced in House (04/10/2019) This the resolution recognizes the significance of the 44th anniversary of the Fall of Saigon on April 30, 1975. The resolution honors the contributions of Vietnamese Americans and honors the service of members of the U.S. Armed Forces and the South Vietnamese forces who fought in Vietnam, including those who gave their lives.

American Government is trillion-fold of the Southern officers of prisoners of war which is why the United States Congress has still fooled us.

(103)H.R 7885 Pbl.L 88_205 - Approved December 16, 1963, so the quick orders of American President sent the American Armed Forces to the Republic of Vietnam together with the same day- In condition, Secretary Defense William Westmoreland who is an excellent hero of World War Two during he led the strong American Armed Forces and the American Alliance of the Southeast Organization Treaty to come to the Republic of Vietnam in order to occupy the Republic of Vietnam after the thirty years in the war. And then, America has begun to betray the Republic of Vietnam after America has been consumed the oldest weapons of World War Two. So America has sold off the Republic of Vietnam to communism. Because America has borrowed the law of war to shake hands with Mainland China, America, after that, has trafficker humans with communism and arrested so much slave war to come to America. As a result, the Southern officers run to follow with America on 30 April 1975, the United States Congress has enacted this bill. Let America praise them to easily listen to the American occupier when they were easily treason for their ancestors and their wonderful fatherland. Moreover, they demeaned to work so many jobs when the jobs of the Native Americans have never worked these jobs. Why do our high military ranks and pundits of the Republic of Vietnam change to work these jobs in the US? Why did the US Congress enact this to scold us but no compensated any pennies of the prisoners of war because we have listened to ear America by the lost nation? How would we explain our treason for our ancestors and our fatherland and our Vietnamese people when we were betrayed in all by the United States Congress?

(104) 28 USC § 1502 Treaty case because of the fifteen five years have gone by, our petition was from the low courts to the US Congress, but they have never resolved the prisoners of war benefits and the real property. Therefore, I would like to carry out our case to the Senate of the United States because the Government of the United States of America has been endorsed all of the multilateral, bilateral treaties, American laws, and international of relation protocols that enforced in force by the United States Congress.

Role-reversal AU

In a world where Barry was kept strictly away from the file on his mother’s murder after he becomes a CSI he grows resentful and distrusting of law-enforcement and a little quicker to recognize that he can’t entirely fix the issues with the police from the inside. So when he wakes from a nine month coma with super speed his first thought is how much he can shove the police’s faces in the fact that the system isn’t perfect and needs to change... he becomes the world’s fastest thief - unbeatable. At least until he goes after a certain diamond at the same time as one Leonard Snart, who walks away from the encounter looking to the world like a hero and gets a sweet taste of positive press that he’s not all that eager to give up.

Harry Potter crossover

Snart and Rory go “backpacking across Europe” on a ridiculous challenge to steal one thing in each country.

Raising a kid is hard, raising a magical kid while maintaining positions as master thieves? ...piece of cake...

Moving On

When Jack and Bitty go through a messy breakup their friends are torn and Bitty is uncertain about what to do, especially when he has to go back to Georgia - where he’s firmly in the closet - for summer break. He can’t talk to his family or his friends about all his conflicting feelings about what happened, so he somehow finds himself corresponding with the one person who he knows would understand - Jack’s other ex, Kent Parson. He also finds himself growing closer to the previous year’s freshmen on his college hockey team and the team’s new manager - especially when summer ends and they’re all handling the situation better than the rest of his friends - ie: behaving like nothing happened except that they’re immediately down to fight Jack at a moment’s notice.

The Umbrella Academy:

Ghost Dave (that’s what it’s called in my google docs but it’s definitely not gonna be the title of the final product)

Dave Katz has been haunting the surviving members of his unit for a couple decades when the story about the 43 women comes on the news; a story Dave had heard plenty about before he died from his lover, Klaus Hargreeves. In whose tellings of it he was one of the children born that day. He also had claimed a few times to be from the future so Dave was fairly willing to take this as proof he was telling the truth. Immediately Dave seeks out Reginald Hargreeves and the 7 of the children he adopted. Over the next 29 years Dave follows the young Klaus around, giving him advice and unconditional friendship and protection from the other ghosts the poor kid could see.

Circle Of Magic crossover

When Tris finds herself dropping out of some kind of portal in a strange land it doesn’t take her long to figure out that some mage had decided to get rid of her - and possibly her siblings - by banishing her to another world, one with advanced technology but not much by way of magic - if one didn’t count the six super-powered siblings she appeared in the middle of. At the same time, but also not, Tris’s adopted sister Sandry wound up smack dab in the center of a group calling themself The Commission who’re very interested in adding her to their ranks, she joins up but maintains suspicion. Daja, the third sister, follows a pair of assassins. And their one brother, Briar, falls into the Vietnam War alongside one freshly tortured Klaus Hargreeves. They all find their way back together eventually - with much fewer casualties than if they hadn’t been there

Harry Potter crossover 1

When an eighteen-year-old Klaus Hargreeves gets bored of being lookout on a mission in London and wanders into the bar across the street he isn’t expecting to find a best friend, but that’s exactly what happens. Lily Evans is a couple months into a break-up and still tired of her ex and his idiocy, especially after his most recent letter - a pile of stupid big enough to send her straight to her local bar. The two hit it off instantly via complaining about anything and everything and egging each other into doing the most ridiculous but fun things. Their night of fun turns sour when Klaus finds out his brother Ben died during the mission and at least one of his siblings blame him. Lily takes the broken boy back to her flat and let’s him stay with her until his visa to stay in England runs out. Thirteen years later the apocalypse is interrupted by a tired ex-professor bringing life changing news - Lily was pregnant when Klaus left England(they’d slept together a handful of times but were never more than friends with benefits), also Lily and her husband(the idiot ex who apologized and changed his behavior, Klaus was at their wedding) are dead and Klaus and Lily’s son was placed with his aunt Petunia(who Klaus has met and knows the boy never should’ve been put with) because only five people besides Lily and James knew who Harry’s father really was and the only one capable of doing anything about it had to find the wandering junkie first. Klaus handles all this about as well as a powerful veteran with a traumatic childhood can - fighting tooth and nail for custody and then raising the boy the best he can with help from his siblings and robot mom and shoving his son’s happiness and safety in the faces of everyone who did the boy wrong

Harry Potter crossover 2

Not long after the war ends Harry finds that he can’t stand staying in magical Britain any longer, so he takes his godson and moves to America. Six years later one of the kids who live across the street sneaks out his window, wearing only pjs despite the heavy snow. Harry finds himself staying up waiting for the boy to return to their street and making some hot cocoa - which he offers to the boy as soon as he sees him. It quickly becomes a Thing(tm); Klaus will sneak out his window in the middle of the night, go for a walk, and eventually wind up having hot cocoa in Harry’s kitchen. They form a strange friendship, one where Klaus has someone he knows he can go to when everything becomes too much - even if that means crawling through Harry’s window, collapsing on his floor in tears, and falling asleep on his couch, waking up just in time to get home before his absence is noticed. Three more years have passed when Harry and Teddy are idly watching tv and Harry sees a very familiar face as Reginald Hargreeves introduces ‘the inaugural class of the Umbrella Academy.’ When Klaus comes over that night Harry asks how much choice Hargreeves gave him and his siblings in their ‘heroics’. After some thought Klaus remembers how his brother Ben hadn’t wanted anything to do with what happened at the bank but was made to participate anyway. He answers honestly: they weren’t really given any. Thus begins Harry’s campaign to get custody for the kids from Hargreeves.

Original Works:

Four Elements Universe(a collection of stories set along one timeline - very far apart and with no overarching plot, just a shared world):

Sisa:

A secluded young king sneaks out of his castle and gets a job under a false identity in hope for friendship, then gives everything up to help his new friends and the rest of his people when he realizes the extent of his adviser’s corruption. Around the same time, a teenage master thief is hired to steal a specific box from the castle - and then to help another thief break her friend out of the castle dungeon - and uncovers several major secrets that might just change the fate of the kingdom.

Kings:

Bandit King Vakhtang’s life is irrevocably changed when he agrees to lend his men to a rebellion for a hefty amount of gold. Over time he finds himself growing fond of the boy prophesied to be the next king and learning just as much from his new employer about letting himself care and open up as he’s teaching the boy how to protect himself. (His best friend and lover is very proud of this growth and kinda wants to adopt the kid)

The Completely Unrelated Adventures Of Four People Who Had Nothing To Do With Each Other Beforehand:

Four teenagers in rural Texas follow a cipher they found in an old tome and discover that all four of them have magical abilities, and that their town may not be as average as they’d believed. As they delve deeper in this new world they uncover two different secret organizations and find themselves caught in the middle of a dangerous conflict over a powerful artifact - that may or may not be the kid sister of one of them.

Mythicals:

Six kids around the world each find objects - artifacts - that grant them magical transformations and abilities. Seven years later all six of them end up at the same prestigious performing arts school in New York. When they discover that they all have these artifacts and powers - and that New York and possibly the world is in danger - they team up to protect everyone else, and quickly become close friends. Though one of them has a secret that could drastically change how the others view them... and possibly risk the fate of the human race.

Eternity And Forever(this one does have an overarching plot):

Eternity Of Forever:

Back in the early years of humanity a young man goes up a mountain for his Trials of Adulthood - a series of three trials set to test a person on the traits of whichever three gods they’ve been assigned to serve - unfortunately for this boy he’s been chosen for the gods of empathy, loyalty, and love... three traits that do not come easily to him. In his desperation to pass his trials he cheats the system and gets caught. As punishment he’s cursed to live forever just on the cusp of adulthood but never reaching it, the only way to break his curse is to prove - with no possibility of dishonesty - that he’s capable of the three traits. Over the next few millennia he gets caught up in a war for the fate of all life on earth, and also somewhat adopts a maybe-alien and falls in love with a time traveler.

Throughout Eternity:

At some unknown point in the future all that’s left of the human race is a refugee colony on an island floating above the desolate remains of our planet. It’s into this that Quinton is born. But when it’s discovered that he can travel through time with just a thought he’s trained for a very important mission: to go back in time and stop the apocalypse. Shortly into his mission he meets an immortal teenager who claims to have met Quinton’s future self and who offers to help, telling him that first thing he should do is gather a team to help him - he even provides names and years. This little team becomes like a second family to Quinton, especially the pretend-aloof immortal.

Forever And After:

After the death of the closest thing he ever had to a father, Slythus finds himself applying to the superhero school the immortal had founded - despite knowing that even if he were accepted into the student body he’d never be accepted by the student body. Somehow he manages to get in... and even more impossible; manages to make friends. But even as he learns how to be good, his past is lurking on the edges of his new life and quickly becoming impossible to ignore - figuratively and literally.

Shadow Warriors:

After the dragon Svartr gets cursed protecting a village from invaders they offer their children to be trained by him - to take care of him as his condition worsens. Those selected and taught by him become known as the Shadow Warriors. Alexir was born several generations after the tradition began of sending every twelve-year-old up Svartr’s mountain for the selection and she never expected to be chosen, being much more focused on intellectual growth than physical, so when it happens it comes as a bit of a shock. She struggles to keep up with her peers in most of the lessons but refuses to give in, pushing herself to reach their level while also learning the complexities of friendship from them all.

Consequences(originally titled ‘Consequences of War’ until I realized it’s more about just consequences for actions in general - like: don’t piss off the powerful magical Being hiding out in the abandoned building):

After deliberately pissing off what they believed to be a ghost - or a false rumor more likely - a college aged idiot ends up being banished into a strange world... with a distinct change in biology(mostly in the area of hormones and primary sex characteristics). As they travel this new world in search of a way home - and back into their original form - they learn new things about themself and make interesting new friends. They find themself questioning whether they actually want their ‘old body’ back and then, when they begin to fall in love, whether they really want to return to their old world.

Based on a photograph Franny found of her mother, and her mother said she was singing You’re so Vain in the photo

 CW: mentions of war and genocide but no descriptions; the film takes place before 1975 so it wasn’t actively happening

Title: Dear Phnom Penh

Executive produced by: Franny Sor Robinson

Release date: April 22nd (Cambodia); May 6th (special screening at Pride U), May 8th (worldwide)

 Franny produced and selected the music for a movie set in pre-Khmer rouge Cambodia with dialogue in Khmer, French, and a little in English. The backdrop of the film is Cambodia, 1973, two years before the start of the Cambodian genocide.The main character is a university student named Pen Chenda, in the midst of her coming of age during the Cambodian Civil War (1968-1975) that led into the Khmer Rogue years (1975-1979) and subsequent genocide. Chenda almost can’t remember what life was like before there was war. Her older siblings tell her and their younger siblings stories of what peacetime was like, but her oldest brother laughs and says it wasn’t peacetime at all. Her oldest brother supports the communists, her father is a Lon Nol supporter, this causes tensions in their family mostly through snide comments at dinner and muffled shouting heard from outside her bedroom while she works on her coursework in one scene, and then is getting dressed to party in another.

 The Cambodian Civil War is in the background of the film, it is not a film about the Cambodian Civil War. It’s about Pen Chenda, a twenty year old university student, trying to pass her classes, earn money at her part-time job at a hotel for European tourists, maintain a social life, and keep her father and brother from ripping each other’s throats out while carrying on a clandestine romance with San Mittapheap / “Pierre” San, a journalist five years older than her who speaks fluent French and English and often works with French, American, and Australian journalists covering the war. One of her sisters snitched to their parents that she was sweet on a journalist because she blamed Chenda for telling her parents that she sneaked out of the house one night, but really it was another sister who ratted on her, and her parents forbade her from seeing him.

 “You know what happens to journalists and their families because they can’t keep their noses where they belong. Do you want to be collateral damage to your husband’s folly?”

 But Chenda is in looooooove and he’s so intelligent, and insightful, and he’s helping her improve her French and English!

 There’s a scene at a bar where Chenda sings You’re So Vain, like Franny’s mother in the picture, when a wealthy classmate of hers is being rude and hitting on her despite her repeatedly rejecting him that night, and even earlier in the movie.

 There’s another brief scene in the bar where Chenda’s dancing with her friends, then she sees the time and is abruptly like “gotta go bye!”

 After Chenda leaves the bar, she meets Pierre for street food instead of going straight home. They munch on chicken skewers and walk through Phnom Penh. A banana seller who clearly lost one of his legs to war hobbles on crutches and drunk!Chenda directly acknowledges the times they live in for the first time in the film.

 “Do you think the communists are right?” She asks Pierre after the man passes.

 Pierre is silent for a long moment, and the film’s score even fades out. It’s dead silent before he replies. “I think Prince Sihanouk and Lon Nol aren’t friends of the people. But I don’t know that Pol Pot is either. I think Ho Chi Mihn in Vietnam has better ideas than Pol Pot has got. And I think any leader that calls for blood louder than he calls to end suffering does not deserve to be a leader. I’ve heard rumors that he himself isn’t even one of the downtrodden he claims to fight for.”

 “Do you think Cambodia will be at war forever?”

 “I think France and America had no business being in our land in the first place, and war won’t ever stop if they’re still here. And if they leave...I don’t know that it will either. It’s like they’re begging us to flee to their borders to survive, but I’ve been to the West. They hate us there. Don’t destroy our homeland, and we will stay in it.”

 “My father supports Lon Nol. My oldest brother supports the communists. My sisters and I aren’t allowed to have an opinion on politics, but I’m afraid I have one and it’s that both Ba and Akrun are idiots. I’m worried most about the war destroying my family. Is that selfish?”

 “You love your family, don’t you?”

 “Yes.”

 “That’s why you’re worried, yes?”

 “Yes?”

 “Then no, I wouldn’t call that selfish. Love isn’t selfish. If it’s selfish, it isn’t love.”

 “The Bible. Are you just now telling me you are a Christian?”

 “No, just familiar with them. I happen to think they had the right idea about that quote. Are you?”

 “No, just familiar with them.”

 “I shouldn’t walk any close to your house. Your father will give you hell if he sees me...I’ll watch you walk in from here.”

 Chenda kisses Pierre and tells him she loves him, waves goodbye, and runs the rest of the way to her front door.

 The film ends in the next scene, with Chenda riding her bicycle to school the next day. She stops at a newspaper stand while waiting to cross a street and happens to look over. She spots a paper with the front page story having Pierre’s by line and she scrambles to pay for it before she’s clear to cross the street. 

 “My husband writes for this paper,” she fibs. “I want to keep his articles for our children.”

 “You have children, student?” says the newspaper stand guy.

 “Someday.” She manages to roll the paper up and put it in her backpack just before her time to cross the street.

 The camera slowly zooms out to reveal a scene of a bustling 1973 city and ultimately fades to black and the credits roll.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

 A selection of questions and answers Franny’s answered about the film in interviews:

 What made you want to make this film? And how did you do it? You have some background in acting, but this is your first time being with a project from start to finish.

 Thank you, that’s a great question. So, the idea’s been with me for a long time. As anybody that’s followed my career will know, or who knows me in my personal life, I can’t shut up about three things. Cambodia, social justice, and banjos. When I was about to get married, my mother and I were goin’ through her photos that she managed to get her hands on from Cambodia. There was a picture of her at a bar singing with a microphone in her hand. I had no idea she liked to sing, at least not publicly, so I was like “Mak, this you? For real?” And I asked her if she was singing, like, a Pen Ran song or something. She looked at the picture and said, “No, no, I was singing...Carly Simon. You know the one. The-” and then she starts singing You’re So Vain! I know that American music found its way around the world even in the 1970s but I really did not expect that to be the story of that photograph.

 I’ve always wanted to make a film or a tv show about pre-Khmer Rouge Cambodia. All of the content about that country that we really see in the West is like...it’s Genocide porn. Films like The Killing Fields, and First They Killed My Father, those are important. Those are both great films. But Cambodia is more than that now and it was more than that then. I wanted to tell a story about young people in Cambodia right before everything went to hell; in a way, I wanted to make a film that was a love letter to my mother’s and my aunts’ and uncles’ youth. I wanted to pay homage to the ones I got to meet, and the ones who didn’t make it out the other side alive. That photograph of my mother put the idea in my head when I was 22, but for years it didn’t develop very far.

 Six years ago, I sat down with my go-to music video director for my Cambodian-market content, and one of his friends who had directed a few low-budget films in Cambodia, and I told them what I wanted to do, and all I need is to meet with some film writers to discuss a storyline, and who would the two of them recommend. They linked me up with two film writers, one that was very in demand in their indie film market, and one who did some more mainstream work. They became the two main writers on the project.The director my friend introduced me to was the director, and my friend became the AD. I’d already conducted interviews with all of my relatives who were willing to speak on their experiences in Cambodia in the 60s and 70s. You know, my cousins and I’ve worked on several projects together. A documentary and a couple books about our family history. So I already had a wealth of recorded interviews worth of research.

 We spent two years workshopping the script and storyline, and finally were ready to start casting.

About the ending. Why did you and the director and screenwriter choose to end it like that?

I wanted the film to end abruptly with no neat tie-a-ribbon-around-it ending. This isn’t a story about the end of a life, or even the end of a specific season in someone’s life. It starts and ends in the middle of a period of Pen Chenda’s life. It’s a slice of life period film that has a love story, a family story, and politics and war seemingly in the background but by the end, you realize that the conflict in her country was in the foreground of the film all along. It’s a story about a young woman trying to live her damn life in the middle of a civil war.

What do you say to people who say the film trivializes the conflict at the time? I’d ask them why they think every other aspect of life at the time doesn’t matter. Life doesn’t stop just because war’s come to your country...until your city, your town, your village is hostin’ the fightin’, you still go to work, you go to school, you fight with your mom and dad, you fall in love. Some of my mother’s oldest siblings got married in the middle of the Cambodian Civil War. They had babies.  My mother was a university student in Phnom Penh just like Chenda is in the film. This isn’t a film about the bloodshed of war; it’s a movie about the people it affects long before they see violence with their own eyes.

 I can’t help but wonder what happens to Chenda and Pierre after the movie’s ending. Do you have any insight into that?

 I think with the way the movie ended, with them on very good terms, we can assume that they got married. I think history clues us in on the rest. Considering Pierre’s a trilingual journalist and Chenda is a university student...they would have had to flee before the fall of Phnom Penh or lied their asses off to have any shot at surviving the Khmer Rouge years. 

 How important was it for you to find an all Cambodian cast for the movie?

 Oh, it was vital. I wanted Cambodia Cambodians as much as possible too, and not oversea Cambodians like me, so that their accents would be authentic. I had some potential investors back out when I refused to hold auditions in the US and France to pull from the Cambodian diaspora there. But this isn’t a story set in a time period where a whole lot of Cambodians would’ve gone abroad to travel much less live. 

 The actor that plays Pierre, actually, when we cast him we had to rework the character a little. Originally, he just had a Cambodian name. But the actor, Jean Sok, is French-Cambodian. He was born in France to first generation French-Cambodians, but went to school in Cambodian from age seven through eighteen, studied acting and music in France and London, and he now lives in Cambodia full time. His Khmer is excellent, but there is this very slight -- his time abroad shows. Not as badly as mine when I speak Khmer, but there’s just this little tinge of a French accent that I frankly can’t notice but the local Cambodians on the project did. So we slipped into the script several reminders that he studied abroad in France, that he’s very steeped in French language, even gave him a French name he goes by that he adopted because of his dealings with Western journalists. 

 Apart from him, all of the main cast are Cambodians born and raised in Cambodia. And there is only one other actress with a speaking role that’s an overseas Cambodian.

I read that you’ve recently quit your day job teaching at Pride University in England to focus on your creative career. Are there more film and tv projects in the future from you?

 I have ideas, yes. I’m of course mainly focusing on music, but I am in talks to work on various projects in some capacity. Mostly curating the soundtracks, but there’s acting roles and possible producing credits down the pipe, yes.

10 Jokes From M*A*S*H That Have Already Aged Poorly | ScreenRant

Based on the book and movie of the same name, M*A*S*H was a hit television series in the 1970s that surpassed the movie’s fame, much like Stargate SG-1 did compared to the original Stargate movie.  Set during the Korean War, the show focused on the antics of the fictional 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital of the United States Army stationed in South Korea.

While the show was mainly known for its comedy, it also tackled serious subjects.  With that said, not all of the jokes from M*A*S*H have aged well to this day.

RELATED: FRIENDS: 10 JOKES THAT HAVE ALREADY AGED POORLY

10 “Stop it, will ya!? You ninny!”

Among the various characters that appeared in M*A*S*H, Corporal Radar was arguably one of the most relatable.  Being the clerk for the 4077th MASH camp, he was often given various tasks to do by different officers whether he wanted to do them or not.  Due to his wimpy nature, he often caved in under pressure and the show would occasionally make fun of this aspect to his character by giving him a teddy bear and putting him in situations that exploited his feebleness.  

RELATED: 10 BEST MEDICAL DRAMAS AIRING RIGHT NOW

But this was taken to an extreme in the Season 6 M*A*S*H episode “Fallen Idol” when Captain Hawkeye outright calls Radar a ninny due to him foolishly worshipping Hawkeye like an idol.  While the above quote could be interpreted as funny because of its truthfulness regarding Radar’s character, the tone makes it sound nasty.

9 Klinger’s Tendency To Wear Women’s Clothing

One of the longest ongoing jokes in M*A*S*H was Corporal Maxwell Klinger’s habit of wearing women’s clothes much to the annoyance of his superiors.  The reason he did this was so he could get discharged under the rules of Section 8, which applied to officers that were considered mentally unfit for the military.

Now at a glance, this comes across as offensive from a modern perspective since it unintentionally makes fun of transgender people since they were often given a Section 8 discharge from the military.  Then it doesn’t help that Klinger’s character was originally written to be effeminate, which the writers didn’t go through with but what they did isn’t much better.

8 “Anyone who needs psychiatry is sick in the head.”

Being the cliche stick-in-the-mud military officer, Major Frank Burns served as the perfect contrast to characters like Hawkeye who were wild and didn’t play by the rules.  Still, that doesn’t excuse some of the things Frank says.

Take, for example, this joke from Season 3 of M*A*S*H titled “Mad Dogs and Servicemen” which Frank remarks to a GI who is suffering from mental trauma that causes him to become paralyzed both physically and mentally.  As a result, this joke comes across as offensive due to our modern understanding of mental illness which was starting to be explored more thoroughly when this show originally aired.

7 Hawkeye Being A Constant Womanizer

Another ongoing joke in M*A*S*H was Hawkeye’s tendency to get 'romantic' with any women that were available.  Though this was a trait of his carried over from the original M*A*S*H movie, where he was played by Donald Sutherland instead of Alan Alda, that doesn’t make his constant flirting any less annoying or cringe-worthy from a modern perspective.

While it might have been seen as charming back when the show first aired and even funny in combination with Hawkeye’s usual witty remarks, it gets overused so many times throughout each episode.  He even goes so far as to flirting with the same woman over and over again in the same episode, whether it’s an established character or a nobody with a pretty face.

6 “When did this line start using stewardesses?”

Though the 1970s brought about Second Wave Feminism, which pushed for more equality through protests than the First Wave, the entertainment industry still had a ways to catch up.  For instance, while M*A*S*H did have female military officers such as Major Margaret Houlihan who mattered as characters and not just eye-candy that didn’t stop them from being the target of casual sexism from the men.

RELATED: 10 EPISODES THAT AGED BADLY FROM SEX AND THE CITY

One such example happened in the eighth season episode “War Co-Respondent” where a female war correspondent named Aggie O’Shea arrives at the 4077th MASH camp and gets greeted with this joking remark by a male officer.  

5 Hawkeye And Trapper Pulling Cruel Pranks On Margaret

When Hawkeye wasn’t busy flirting with women, he and his buddy Captain Trapper would pull various pranks around the 4077th MASH camp.  The two people they tended to prank on the most were Frank and Margaret. But while Frank had mostly harmless pranks done to him, like having his arm wrapped in a cast with a hook, the ones done to Margaret were arguably more cruel by comparison.

RELATED: THE OFFICE: 10 OF JIM'S MOST ICONIC PRANKS ON DWIGHT

For instance, in the Season 1 episode “Major Fred C. Dobbs” Frank requests a transfer from the 4077th MASH camp and has a private heartfelt conversation with Margaret about it.  While this is going on, Hawkeye and Trapper put a microphone in the tent causing Frank and Margaret’s conversation to get broadcast to the whole camp.  

4 “Shoveling a little manure for my ‘Tokyo Rose’” 

Much like Frank, Major Charles Winchester III was another straight man who served to foil Hawkeye.  His main character-arc, though, was resenting his superior officer who transferred Winchester to the 4077th MASH camp after Winchester beat him at a game of Cribbage.

Then in the Season 9 episode “No Laughing Matter,” Winchester meets that superior officer again and tries to win him over as a means to get back his previous position in Tokyo.  Hence, Winchester says the above line which is meant to be funny as it is a pun on the Tokyo Rose propaganda broadcasting personality from World War II.  But it isn’t funny now due to the controversy surrounding this persona, which involved a Japanese woman born in America who was wrongfully accused of being the ‘real’ Tokyo Rose and convicted of treason according to the FBI’s website (though she was pardoned later).

3 Frank’s Infidelity

Every now and then, the M*A*S*H series would draw attention to the fact that many of its characters had loved ones waiting for them back home in the United States.  One that got brought up the most frequently was Frank’s wife, due to his not-so-subtle affair with Margaret who was never consistent about whether she cared Frank was married or not.

This, in turn, was framed by the show as being funny, since Frank and Margaret pride themselves on being more dignified than the officers below their rank yet the fact that they commit infidelity made them seem like hypocrites.  But it isn’t by today’s standards, since Frank comes across as an unfaithful jerk.

2 “Korean women aren’t known for hairy knuckles.”

Despite the show’s reputation for being surprisingly dark despite its comedic elements, and underlying critique of the Vietnam War like the film that inspired it, M*A*S*H is sadly a product of its time. For instance, there weren’t many POC characters present.  Then there weren’t many Korean characters, despite the show being set in Korea, and the show’s depiction of them was questionable.  

For instance in the Season 4 episode “Dear Peggy,” which was part of a series of episodes where a character would be writing a letter to a loved one and recalling events that are portrayed in the episode proper, Klinger tries escaping the MASH camp by dressing up as a Korean but gets caught by the commanding officer Colonel Potter who says the above line.  It’s meant to be funny in relation to Klinger’s poor disguise, but it comes across now as subtly racist.

1 Margaret Being Harassed And/Or Assaulted

Because Margaret was the only significant female character in M*A*S*H, she was often flirted by the men in the camp regardless if they were established characters or guest ones.

Sometimes, this flirting would escalate into harassment or straight-up assault as was the case in the Season 2 episode “Operation Noselift” where Margaret gets assaulted by a plastic surgeon named Major Stanley “Stosh” Robbins who takes a fetish-like interest in her mouth thinking she’s the “Barracuda” nurse Hawkeye mentions early in the episode.  Though it’s meant to play for laughs due to the misunderstanding aspect of the situation, it isn’t funny nowadays due to our modern sensibility about harassment.

27 Nonfiction Books By Women Everyone Should Read This Year

New year, new books. At least, thatswhat we wrote back in December, when we were just starting to add titles to our 2017 reading lists.

Now that were nine days into the new year, our to-read list has only grown. And while our first book preview was filled with all the fiction you could handle, we wanted to take a moment to talk about the incredible wave of nonfiction were expecting this year, too.

Particularly, were talking about nonfiction from women authors because a single year that includes memoir and essay collection releases from the likes of Roxane Gay,Patricia Lockwood, Joan Didion, Yiyun Li, Mary Gaitskill,Samantha Irbyand Camille Paglia is worth celebrating.

Behold: 27 nonfiction books by womeneveryone should read this year.

Birds Art Life: A Year of Observation by Kyo Maclear

For many of us working full time in urban environments, the prospect of studying mushrooms or catching fireflies seems like a faraway fantasy. In 2012, writer Kyo Maclear was inspired by a musician she met who had fallen in love with birds one of those rare natural spectacles readily available in cityscapes. The author spent the year devoted to the winged things, observing them and documenting the changes she underwent along the way. Birds Art Life chronicles her journey, exploring the many shapes passion can take, and the many spaces natural beauty can occupy. Priscilla Frank

Earlier this year, Merritt Tierce, author of critically acclaimed 2011 novel Love Me Back,surprised readers with an essay detailing what shes been up to since the buzz about her book quieted. I promptly went broke, she stated in Marie Claire. Now, shes delivering mail. Its not a tragic anomaly, but a new reality for writers including those who have achieved some sort of objective success is confronting laughably low pay. So, whats a writer to do?

This Close to Happy: A Reckoning with Depression by Daphne Merkin

It is an affliction that often starts young and goes unheeded, younger than would seem possible, as if in exiting the womb I was enveloped in a gray and itchy wool blanket instead of a soft, pastel-colored bunting, Daphne Merkin wrote in a 2009 piece for The New York Times Magazine. Merkin brings her longstanding affliction depression to life through her remarkably honest and visceral descriptions of the mental health condition that still remains largely cloaked in silence.

Flneuse: Women Walk the City in Paris, New York, Tokyo, Venice, and Londonby Lauren Elkin

A flneur is defined as one who wanders aimlessly. However, for most of cultural history, this someone was presumed to be male. Cultural critic Lauren Elkin challenges this assumption by celebrating the women throughout history who have dared to move throughout urban spaces on foot. Elgin explores the personal and political implications of a woman moving through a city alone: who she looks at, who looks at her, and what happens when she makes her primary place outside the home. Elkin intersperses her own personal experiences wandering through Paris with the many flneuses who came before and the types of self-transformations that can only occur on foot. PF

Free Women Free Men by Camille Paglia

Since the 1989 release of her first essay collection, Sexual Personae, CamillePaglia has continued to confound categorizations as a feminist who thinks womens studies is a comfy, chummy morass of unchallenged groupthink, an art historian who thinks Star Wars is the best artwork of all time, and a lesbian who doesnt get along with lesbians. Free Women Free Men is a compilation of Paglias best, and most incendiary, previously published essays, guiding readers through her singular perspectives on culture, sex and femininity. At times infuriating, at times glittering, Paglias prose is always biting and relentless. Its more effective, however, when praising Madonnas sexuality than defending date rape. PF

Still more from the Wilkes Antique Roadshow…

  A jug from Riverside Manufacturing Company along with the IRS record book, which dates back to the 1890’s.

By KEN WELBORN

Record Publisher

After attending this past Saturday’s Wilkes Antique Roadshow, which was a fundraiser for Friends of the Library, one of the items particularly stuck in my mind. It was a jug from the Yadkin Valley Distilling Company from down in northwest Forsyth County, brought in my Bill and Linda Davis of Ronda.

The town listed on the jug was Donnaha. And, I remembered that in my collection, I also had a whiskey jug from a town that no longer seems to exist – Shore, N.C. The name on this jug was Riverside Manufacturing Company.

Since one of the most often asked questions by visitors to the offices of The Record and Thursday Printing is “Where do you find all this stuff?” Well, I’ll just tell you about this one.

We live in a small town, folks know each other, and often I will write a column (like today) about the collection of things that have turned The Record into a poor man’s museum as well as an office. From there, the things just keep on coming in.

For example, a few years ago a Mr. Mark Goin from Yadkin  County dropped by to see me. I had never met him, and I am not 100 percent sure what made him stop, but I think it was the displays in our front windows which do make the place look a whole lot more like and antique store than any kind of other business.

Well, suffice it to say I am truly glad he stopped, because he introduced me to the Riverside Manufacturing Company of Shore, N.C. First off, I asked about Shore, and he told me it was in Yadkin County but no longer existed as a town or anything.

He went on to say that there were a lot of people with the name of Shore, and he was related to them, but there was no more town. The other thing that made it interesting at this time is the recent resurgence of liquor distilleries in Wilkes County, three in fact, and all making moonshine to one extent or another.

 Which brings us to the Riverside Manufacturing Company and the liquor jug on this page. The kiln fired glazed blue lettered jug reads “High Grade Whiskey House” and follows up with “Write for Confidential Price List." All this stuff is interesting to me, and I have seen an assortment of high priced ceramic jugs through the years, but never ended up buying one until the aforementioned Mr. Goin stopped by. What made Mr. Goin’s jug so special was the fact that he had the hard backed Storekeepers Record which had to be kept at the Distillery Warehouse from, you guessed it, the Department of Internal Revenue.

The instructions on the inside front cover of the ledger book go into minute detail, even covering how to document any "unusual loss of contents” in a barrel, and was datelined Washington, D. C., February 12, 1892. Entries by the Riverside Manufacturing Company began in 1893.

 Apparently, the bookkeeper of record who looked after most of the information in the warehouse ledger was one E. D. C. Pope. In addition to all the details involved to get - what else - the tax paid, this old ledger is filled with the most strikingly beautiful flowing penmanship you have ever seen. There were a couple of other folks who prepared some of the ledger pages for customers, most notable among them a man named John  Shore. One can only assume he was one of the principals in the company. Many things about the old jug and ledger book raise as many questions as they answer, and I truly want anyone who has any knowledge of the Riverside Manufacturing Company or the town of Shore to pass it on to me. 

There is one thing, however, in the ledger book that seems to have left no doubt to any of the folks I have showed it to so far. It is under the heading “Kind of Spirits,” and, in the aforementioned beautiful handwritten flowing script, on every page of every customer are the same two letters, “CW.” So far all my outhouse experts have agreed that those initials just have to stand for "Corn Whiskey.“

 So, there you go.

  Gratitude

By LAURA WELBORN

Words of John McCain:  “America has made a greater contribution than any other nation to an international order that has liberated more people from tyranny and poverty than ever before in history. We have been the greatest example, the greatest supporter, and the greatest defender of that order.”

He brought it home with the indomitable American spirit: “We aren’t afraid,” he said. “We don’t covet other people’s land and wealth. We don’t hide behind walls. We breach them. We are a blessing to humanity. What greater cause could we hope to serve than helping keep America the strong, aspiring, inspirational beacon of liberty and defender of the dignity of all human beings, and their right to freedom and equal justice?”

Watching so many clips on John McCain’s life left me in admiration to his attitude of gratitude for a “wonderful life.”

When watching the clips of his horrendous experience as a Vietnam POW, I though how amazing it is that someone tortured for years would say their life was wonderful. John McCain had such a great attitude even as he faced his impending death.  I loved hearing him described as a maverick with courage to go up against others in his own opinion and yet he was able to maintain respect and friendship with those who did not agree with him.  When I read this from my favorite blog I knew it described how John McCain lived his life.

  “Finding sincere gratitude is much easier said than done in the hustle of life, especially when hard times hit. Most of the time we create tragedy in our lives out of fairly minor incidents.  Something doesn’t go exactly as planned, but rather than learn from the experience, we get stressed.

Many of us have developed a subtle habit of complaining about life.  We might not even notice how often we’re doing it, but every time we experience some tension in our lives (things not going exactly our way), we immediately feel bitterness.  This bitterness is a form of complaining.  Gratitude is the antidote.  Each time you notice yourself feeling bitter, or complaining, notice that you have a story in your mind that’s causing you to feel the way you do.  Notice that you’re letting this story about “how life should be” dominate you.  Then, find a small way to be grateful instead.  When life gives you every reason to be negative, think of one good reason to be positive.  

The familiar faces, places, situations and obligations we rely on and interact with daily… they overwhelm us sometimes, especially when we’re taking them for granted. Have you ever noticed how the more familiar you become with an amazing situation or relationship in your life, the more you seem to take it for granted?  And then, as it becomes more “expendable” in your subconscious mind, the more it seems to “overwhelm” you on busy days?  You somehow grow to feel like this amazing thing is getting in your way, even though it isn’t.” (Marc and Angel Hack Life blog)

The bottom line is that we often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude.  So, challenge yourself to flip your perspective in moments of overwhelm, using a simple re-framing tool saying “… AND IT’S GOOD!” is a phrase that can be applied to the end of any overwhelming thought.   Let this little re-framing tool give you the perspective you need.  Because the everyday things that overwhelm us are often blessings in disguise or at least something we can look back on and find something positive about- John McCain did and under the worst of circumstances.  I know when I start feeling like nothing is going as planned I am going to look towards gratitude of what is going right and think of John McCain’s life and attitude.  

  Hooyah, John McCain, my hero

By HEATHER DEAN

Journalist/Photojournalist

God speed soldier.

When I heard the news last week about John McCain refusing to take anymore treatments for his brain cancer, I was immediately taken back to the memory of my own Grandfather’s fight with the same disease. I knew it would not be long. I recalled the last conversations we had together, some sweet, some not as he recalled his time as a war veteran against the Nazis in Germany.

Third generation Navy, John fought in Vietnam, and was a POW for five long torturous years. And while I'm sure he was not unscathed by PTSD demons of memories past, he never allowed them to damage the things most important to him, the love of his life, and his children. On the senate floor he continued for many years to be the maverick that fought for his nation, working bi-partisanly, even taking on people of his own party, when he saw it was not in the interest of the American people that he so bravely fought for.

I have said it many times in following the politics of the day- we need more veterans on the chamber floors, because they know what it is to sacrifice, they have seen the world at large, from combat soldiers to peace ambassadors. Were that more those coming back from combat had followed his example, tamed the beast inside, and used it for good of the American people.

Thank you, my dear John McCain, for your service to my country, for your sacrifice, and for your stalwartness in KEEPING America great. You are truly a hero of the American people.

   Honoring Women in Service

By CARL WHITE

Life in the Carolinas

It’s been a great week in production. For several months we have been working on a special we have titled “Honoring Women in Service.”  Several of the women that are included in our interviews were attending the American Legion World Series in Shelby NC.

Upon realizing that there was a gathering that included so many of these incredible women we booked the historic Bankers House in Shelby as a venue for the interviews. Before long we had fully scheduled three days.  

I have conducted a lot of interviews over the years, and I remember many of them. However, I am confident that I will not forget the significance of the interviews with these women who have served our nation.

Denise Rohan served in the US Army and had the distinction of being the first female National Commander of the American Legion (2017-2018). The American Legion was founded March 15, 1919 and is the largest veteran’s organization in the United States with more than two million members.

Patricia A. Harris, a US Army Persian Gulf Combat veteran.  She was the first female commander at North Carolina’s American Legion Post 157, and she became the first female department commander in North  Carolina (2013-2014).

It was during her campaign to become the department commander that she discovered the beauty and charm of her own state. The time was right, and while it was a close race, she did become the first female and the first African American to be elected as NC department commander. While her WWII veteran father did not live to see that day, her mother who is now in her late 90’s did.

Carol Barker is a retired Air Force combat veteran who has a history of taking care of others. Her stories are profoundly moving, and she speaks openly about the complications of war that she witnessed and experienced. She served as the American Legion North Carolina department commander 2017-2018. Her willingness to talk candidly about living with PTSD and other issues faced by women and men in service will surely inspire hope for many.

Queen Williams served in the US Airforce. Her story is one of inspiration. It would be a path opened by her hard work and dedication in the ROTC. At first, she was going to enlist, however for some reason she did not qualify. The ROTC did have a place for her, and as it turned out, it was the perfect fit for her to excel. She would go on to have a successful military career, and upon retirement, she would return to the ROTC to instruct and inspire others.

These are but of a few of the inspiring women we have interviewed, and I can already tell you that the richness of the stories is profound. We have talked with women who are now part of American history. The primary objective of this programming is to honor Women in Service and allow their voices to be heard.

We seldom have enough broadcast minutes to share every point. However, we will work hard to weave together the common threads of these most worthy stories.

I look forward to watching these stories come together and then sharing them with the everyone.

May we all remain grateful for those who serve our nation.

10 Jokes From M*A*S*H That Have Already Aged Poorly | ScreenRant

Based on the book and movie of the same name, M*A*S*H was a hit television series in the 1970s that surpassed the movie’s fame, much like Stargate SG-1 did compared to the original Stargate movie.  Set during the Korean War, the show focused on the antics of the fictional 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital of the United States Army stationed in South Korea.

While the show was mainly known for its comedy, it also tackled serious subjects.  With that said, not all of the jokes from M*A*S*H have aged well to this day.

RELATED: FRIENDS: 10 JOKES THAT HAVE ALREADY AGED POORLY

10 “Stop it, will ya!? You ninny!”

Among the various characters that appeared in M*A*S*H, Corporal Radar was arguably one of the most relatable.  Being the clerk for the 4077th MASH camp, he was often given various tasks to do by different officers whether he wanted to do them or not.  Due to his wimpy nature, he often caved in under pressure and the show would occasionally make fun of this aspect to his character by giving him a teddy bear and putting him in situations that exploited his feebleness.

But this was taken to an extreme in the Season 6 M*A*S*H episode “Fallen Idol” when Captain Hawkeye outright calls Radar a ninny due to him foolishly worshipping Hawkeye like an idol.  While the above quote could be interpreted as funny because of its truthfulness regarding Radar’s character, the tone makes it sound nasty.

9 Klinger’s Tendency To Wear Women’s Clothing

One of the longest ongoing jokes in M*A*S*H was Corporal Maxwell Klinger’s habit of wearing women’s clothes much to the annoyance of his superiors.  The reason he did this was so he could get discharged under the rules of Section 8, which applied to officers that were considered mentally unfit for the military.

Now at a glance, this comes across as offensive from a modern perspective since it unintentionally makes fun of transgender people since they were often given a Section 8 discharge from the military.  Then it doesn’t help that Klinger’s character was originally written to be effeminate, which the writers didn’t go through with but what they did isn’t much better.

8 “Anyone who needs psychiatry is sick in the head.”

Being the cliche stick-in-the-mud military officer, Major Frank Burns served as the perfect contrast to characters like Hawkeye who were wild and didn’t play by the rules.  Still, that doesn’t excuse some of the things Frank says.

Take, for example, this joke from Season 3 of M*A*S*H titled “Mad Dogs and Servicemen” which Frank remarks to a GI who is suffering from mental trauma that causes him to become paralyzed both physically and mentally.  As a result, this joke comes across as offensive due to our modern understanding of mental illness which was starting to be explored more thoroughly when this show originally aired.

7 Hawkeye Being A Constant Womanizer

Another ongoing joke in M*A*S*H was Hawkeye’s tendency to get 'romantic' with any women that were available.  Though this was a trait of his carried over from the original M*A*S*H movie, where he was played by Donald Sutherland instead of Alan Alda, that doesn’t make his constant flirting any less annoying or cringe-worthy from a modern perspective.

While it might have been seen as charming back when the show first aired and even funny in combination with Hawkeye’s usual witty remarks, it gets overused so many times throughout each episode.  He even goes so far as to flirting with the same woman over and over again in the same episode, whether it’s an established character or a nobody with a pretty face.

6 “When did this line start using stewardesses?”

Though the 1970s brought about Second Wave Feminism, which pushed for more equality through protests than the First Wave, the entertainment industry still had a ways to catch up.  For instance, while M*A*S*H did have female military officers such as Major Margaret Houlihan who mattered as characters and not just eye-candy that didn’t stop them from being the target of casual sexism from the men.

RELATED: 10 EPISODES THAT AGED BADLY FROM SEX AND THE CITY

One such example happened in the eighth season episode “War Co-Respondent” where a female war correspondent named Aggie O’Shea arrives at the 4077th MASH camp and gets greeted with this joking remark by a male officer.  

5 Hawkeye And Trapper Pulling Cruel Pranks On Margaret

When Hawkeye wasn’t busy flirting with women, he and his buddy Captain Trapper would pull various pranks around the 4077th MASH camp.  The two people they tended to prank on the most were Frank and Margaret. But while Frank had mostly harmless pranks done to him, like having his arm wrapped in a cast with a hook, the ones done to Margaret were arguably more cruel by comparison.

RELATED: THE OFFICE: 10 OF JIM'S MOST ICONIC PRANKS ON DWIGHT

For instance, in the Season 1 episode “Major Fred C. Dobbs” Frank requests a transfer from the 4077th MASH camp and has a private heartfelt conversation with Margaret about it.  While this is going on, Hawkeye and Trapper put a microphone in the tent causing Frank and Margaret’s conversation to get broadcast to the whole camp.  

4 “Shoveling a little manure for my ‘Tokyo Rose’” 

Much like Frank, Major Charles Winchester III was another straight man who served to foil Hawkeye.  His main character-arc, though, was resenting his superior officer who transferred Winchester to the 4077th MASH camp after Winchester beat him at a game of Cribbage.

Then in the Season 9 episode “No Laughing Matter,” Winchester meets that superior officer again and tries to win him over as a means to get back his previous position in Tokyo.  Hence, Winchester says the above line which is meant to be funny as it is a pun on the Tokyo Rose propaganda broadcasting personality from World War II.  But it isn’t funny now due to the controversy surrounding this persona, which involved a Japanese woman born in America who was wrongfully accused of being the ‘real’ Tokyo Rose and convicted of treason according to the FBI’s website (though she was pardoned later).

3 Frank’s Infidelity

Every now and then, the M*A*S*H series would draw attention to the fact that many of its characters had loved ones waiting for them back home in the United States.  One that got brought up the most frequently was Frank’s wife, due to his not-so-subtle affair with Margaret who was never consistent about whether she cared Frank was married or not.

This, in turn, was framed by the show as being funny, since Frank and Margaret pride themselves on being more dignified than the officers below their rank yet the fact that they commit infidelity made them seem like hypocrites.  But it isn’t by today’s standards, since Frank comes across as an unfaithful jerk.

2 “Korean women aren’t known for hairy knuckles.”

Despite the show’s reputation for being surprisingly dark despite its comedic elements, and underlying critique of the Vietnam War like the film that inspired it, M*A*S*H is sadly a product of its time. For instance, there weren’t many POC characters present.  Then there weren’t many Korean characters, despite the show being set in Korea, and the show’s depiction of them was questionable.  

For instance in the Season 4 episode “Dear Peggy,” which was part of a series of episodes where a character would be writing a letter to a loved one and recalling events that are portrayed in the episode proper, Klinger tries escaping the MASH camp by dressing up as a Korean but gets caught by the commanding officer Colonel Potter who says the above line.  It’s meant to be funny in relation to Klinger’s poor disguise, but it comes across now as subtly racist.

1 Margaret Being Harassed And/Or Assaulted

Because Margaret was the only significant female character in M*A*S*H, she was often flirted by the men in the camp regardless if they were established characters or guest ones.

Sometimes, this flirting would escalate into harassment or straight-up assault as was the case in the Season 2 episode “Operation Noselift” where Margaret gets assaulted by a plastic surgeon named Major Stanley “Stosh” Robbins who takes a fetish-like interest in her mouth thinking she’s the “Barracuda” nurse Hawkeye mentions early in the episode.  Though it’s meant to play for laughs due to the misunderstanding aspect of the situation, it isn’t funny nowadays due to our modern sensibility about harassment.

For we understand about a nation or a society when there are not having formal Principle of Justice, so the unfairness of there is always taken place by there found uniquely rule let them rule the people within super magic laws, says Bright Quang.

Dear Senator Bob Casey Sir,

Please give me share this to you and I would like to ask for you to how would you think about my case of Civil Settlement? By the way, I would like to share this to you. When my case of civil Settlement was in the Department of Justice of the United States of America was more than seven months always. As you know our government needs to its citizens within ten days, but your citizen would like to need our American Government was the seven months, but not yet resolve to civil Settlement case- However, your democratic Party is always to change what?

In my opinion that, our American Congressmen and Congresswomen should be given ear to their people when they are trampling down by wrongful action of government workers from centers to local governments because you were enacting the statutory Federal Tort Claims Acts in order to distort to Formal Principle of Justice when our American Government has been carrying out the law of Animal Rights- Therefore, I would like to submit my Civil Settlement case to you. Here is not my proposal for Hearing to Our Congressional. Hopefully, for one day, my Proposal for Hearing to the United States Congress’s Speaker and including a justice committee of Congressional and House.

The deadliest of American history was My_lai Material Court in 1967 in the Vietnam War of the United States of America. As a result, the American history could not forget to this special event of Prisoner of War of the Vietnam War of the United States of America and here:

We have Animal Rights Doctrine when our humankind has had formal principle of justice- and therefore, Dearest Matt Whitaker Sir,

Dearest Matt Whitaker Sir,

I would like to appreciate to your email’s responds, so I am respectfully waiting for Department of Justice that should resolve my case ‘s Civil settlement for my Prisoner of War of the Vietnam War of the United States of America because our Great Power of the America that should, at least, understand about formal principle of justice of a Great Power of our America is super values when our national America has never had unmitigated punishment for of fenders. Therefore, our congressional was enacted statutory when my Civil Settlement was submitted to Attorney General Jeff Sessions, but he could not resolve to my case’s Civil Settlement, when, he perhaps, was busily for within investigation’s Russian in our voting of in 2016. He seemed forgotten to my modern slavery war of our America. Because the cause of prisoner of war of the Vietnam War of the United States of America has had confirmation by Attorney General of the United States of America who was Robert Kennedy when he came to Saigon in Vietnam and declared, “ The Vietnam War must win communism.” and therefore, the Congressional has had continuously been enacting for these statutory, which are:

28 U.S.C. § 1346-June 25, 1948; 28 U.S.C. § 1346 b-June 25, 1948–28 U.S.C. §2671- Definitions-June 25,1948;28 U.S.C. §2672- Administrative adjustment of Claims; June 25, 1948., 28 U.S.C. §2673- Report to Congress-June 25, 1948.,28 U.S.C. §2674 Liability of United States-June 25, 1948; 28 U.S.C. §2677- Compromise-June 25, 1948 and:

22 U.S.C. § 1622 a-U.S. Code — Unannotated Title 22. Transfer of Foreign Claims Settlement Commission of the United States to Department of Justice; 22 U.S.C. § 1622 b- Transfer of functions.,22 U.S.C. § 1622c- Membership of Foreign Claims., 22 U.S.C. § 1622d- Appointment and compensation., 22 U.S.C. § 1622e- Vesting of all non-adjudicatory., 22 U.S.C. § 1622f-Foreign Relations and Intercourse- March 14, 1980 .,22 U.S.C. § 1622 g-Independence of Foreign Claims Settlement .

In my opinion that I am respectfully waiting for Attorney General of the United States of Department Justice that should resolve to my civil settlement case. if not, after that I should respectfully submit my Civil Settlement to Supreme Court of the United States of America- If not, in the end, I would like to carry out the statutory, which is ., 28 U.S.C. §2673- Report to Congress-June 25, 1948., by my proposal for hearing’s Civil Settlement of prisoner of war of the Vietnam War of the United States of America to the United States Congress that I’d like to follow with formal principle of justice of a Great Power of our America , which is super values of the American Justice when our national America has never had unmitigated punishment for of fenders. Because my prisoner of war is exactly proved by not only have the American justice but also expressed in law by the American statutory of Congressional for enacting for firm it.

Respectfully Yours
