Poll question: Frank Burns vs. Charles Emerson Winchester III
I think Frank Burns wins hands down. (As played by Larry Linville in the TV version, not Robert Duvall in the movie.)

He's the original pathetic chickenhawk repug:

Major Frank Burns: Funny thing, war: never have so many suffered so much so so few could be so happy.
Major Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan: We're lucky to be two of the few and not the many.
Major Frank Burns: I know, darling, and I love being both of us.

He's the King Freeper if there ever was one!


And as an added bonus picture..when I googled a Frank Burns image, I clicked to page 2, and look what I found!



LMAO - Is G.W. Bush really Frank Burns!

2. The resemblance is uncanny!
:rofl: The beady rodent eyes are identical!

Your link says: "Neither one have any lips, they are annoying, love Jesus but are more in love with the idea of war, refuse to admit mistakes, and are of questionable intelligence." Damn that is spot on!

5. Alan Alda talking about Larry Linville
I saw an interview with Alan Alda, I think LL had just recently died. They were talking about MASH.

I'm paraphrasing: He said Larry Linville was out of all of them, the most generous actor, to go in every week and have his character perpetually be the butt of so many jokes and horseplay.

He was just trying to saw what a contrast LL the actor was to his freeper character, since the audience never saw that.

6. Frank once killed a gopher with a stick, so he could easily take Chuckles.
Footnote: One of the other doctors in my family GP's practice was named Frank Burns, and he had been an Air Force Doctor in the RAF, and had been in Korea with the UN.

7. I wouldn't let Burns near me
without a 20 foot pole. If I were injured and in need of help, at least Winchester was a superior surgeon.

10. At least charles got back at Hawkeye and BJ from time for time.
Linville was just too much of a panty waist.
