M*A*S*H was made in the 70s about a war in the 50s. that's the equivalent of making a comedy about the US invasion of Iraq after 911 today.

Writers in the 70s had no chill

Especially if it starred Alan Alda

It was made while the Vietnam war was still going on and was using the Korean war as a "cover" for commentary on the Vietnam war that it might otherwise have not been able to make.
