through early morning fog i see visions of the things to be the pains that are withheld for me i realize and i can see that suicide is painless it brings on many changes and i can take or leave it if i please i try to find a way to make all our little joys relate but now i know that it's too late, suicide is painless it brings on many changes and i can take or leave it i please, the game of life is hard to play im gonna lose anyway the losin card i'll someday lay so this is all i have to say suicide is painless it brings on many changes and i can take or leave it if i please, the only way to win is cheat, and lay it down before im beat and to another give my seat 'cause that's the only painless feat suicide is painless it brings on many changes and i can take or leave it if i please, the sword of time will pierce our skin it doesn't hurt when it begins but as it works it way on in the pain grows stronger watch it grin and suicide is painless it brings on many changes and i can ...

... take or leave it if please. a brave man once requested me to answer questions that are key is it to be or not to be and i replied oh why ask me, cause suicide painless it brings on many changes and i can take or leave it if i please, and you can do the same thing if you please..

Answer 1

Only Frank could even halfway be plausibly considered a "villain" on MASH. Winchester was a decent enough foil, but wasn't really downright mean as Frank could be. The later characters were given more texture and were more complicated, but not really in a villanous sort of way.

Col. Flagg played ably by Edward Winter perhaps came close, although he could not be considered a major star.

Ultimately, the real villain was blood and death (and those people--whether Korean or Americans who sent people to the 4077th on a frequent basis). Hawkeye would have to considered the hero as he took death the most personally.
