    Jeet Heer Retweeted tenured socialist

    Speaking of cancel culture, it is interesting that both in its gentle form & its more satirical one, the service comedy has disappeared: Good Soldier Švejk, McHale's Navy, Catch 22, MASH, Stripes etc. Where has that tradition gone? (Beetle Bailey still lives, I guess)https://twitter.com/dbessner/status/1490758668240908288 …

        Pretty sure it died as a consequence of the Iraq War. Which I think is also the root reason why GI Joe can't seem to gain any traction now the way Transformers and He-Man/She-Ra have.

        I feel like a two-decade meat grinder for absolutely no reason with absolutely no governmental support for returning vets might have something to do with it. A couple of shows (Enlisted, 68 Whiskey) have tried, but neither caught fire.

        The draft being eliminated also helped kill it too I think. Eliminating the draft allowed the military to paint itself as some sort of noble warrior class. It drew in less people from the general population.

        I still lament the fact that Kubrick's planned sequel set in the underground colony detailed at the end of the movie never happened.

        I mean MASH was 20 years later. Maybe it's still coming (if we can ever get 10 years removed from war, how far from the Vietnam war did it premier?)

        MASH was about Korea. The TV series launched almost 20 years after the armistice.

        In 2022, we do NOT make fun of the military/cops.
