Actually MASH was pretty accurate. Think of the movie. How did the unit, or why did the unit get the black surgeon? He had been one of the great pro football players prior to the war, and the MASH unit needed him for their football game against the general's team which had several AA players such Buck Buchanan and Nolan Smith (who by the way was sitting next to me when I was a kid when I went to the movie, yes I was underage)
Whole different story. Just sitting there at the movie MASH and the black guy next to me looked down the row and called to my brother, they knew each other. My brother looked at me and told me that was Nolan Smith. My brother worked at one of the public golf Courses in KC. and He met several Chiefs through working there: Nolan, Buck Buchanan, Ernie Ladd, Emmitt Thomas, and few more Chiefs.
