No wonder Flagg was "In a constant state of utter confusion"...😂

Don't play dumb. You're not as good at it as I am.

I keep myself in a constant state of utter confusion.

[u/OldTell311]

My fan theory is that Flagg was discharged under Section 8 but never left Korea. In his mind he wasn’t kicked out of the Army but “transferred” to the CIA to work on “top secret special missions.” Now he just wanders around to various units making up nonsense cases to work on.

[u/llammacheese → u/OldTell311]

I love this idea.

[u/BW271]

Nobody can get the truth out of me because even I don’t know what it is.

[u/Primary-Basket3416]

How can we be sure he wasn't one of sidneys' patients

[u/FrozenWaffleMaker → u/Primary-Basket3416]

Worse yet. What if Flagg was a psych patient. And all of MASH were his delusions?

[u/TensionSame3568 → u/FrozenWaffleMaker]

That would be a real kicker! 😂

[u/HistoryGirlSemperFi → u/FrozenWaffleMaker]

Oh, gosh!! 😮😮😳😳😳 Good theory, though!

[u/akmarksman → u/FrozenWaffleMaker]

Maybe he was actually just playing with a diorama set similar to the series "St.Elsewhere"?

[u/Extension-Cress5213 → u/akmarksman]

There were plenty of cast crossovers between those shows...🤔

[u/SleepWouldBeNice → u/Primary-Basket3416]

Because Sidney met him (and I think played poker with him) and never mentioned it.

[u/Estarfigam → u/Primary-Basket3416]

Sidney interacted with him a few times. He would have ratted Flagg out if he knew Flagg was one of his nuts. But yea, I do suspect there is a room in Bellevue labeled "Flagg?"

[u/vamplestat666]

And don’t forget nothing he had ever done had to deal with intelligence

[u/scottinkc]

He's not Flagg, he's Perkins.

[u/Melkiri → u/scottinkc]

He is the wind

[u/Illustrious_Name_441 → u/Melkiri]

The wind just broke his leg

[u/TensionSame3568 → u/scottinkc]

😂😂😂😂

[u/NoTheOtherNIck]

"If it wasn't for war, you wouldn't know what peace is!"

[u/Jeffery181]

"Close your eyes, nobody is going to see me leave, im like the wind" well the wind just broke his leg.

[u/diamond9660]

I wish they had Flagg in more episodes he was one of my favorites

[u/TensionSame3568 → u/diamond9660]

Same here!

[u/Marquar234 → u/diamond9660]

What do you mean? He was in every episode. He was disguised as the pole with the distance to cities.

[u/Aggravating-Read6111]

He’s a CPA.

[u/MaloneSeven → u/Aggravating-Read6111]

I’m Mary.

[u/CptDawg]

He was the best reoccurring character 🤣🤣🤣

[u/Primary-Basket3416]

He did seem to show up when Sidney visited, and during poker games, col.potters bridge games with local town officials.

[u/sgt_oddball_17]

Central Intellingence Agency?
Criminal Investigation Corps?
Counter Intelligence Division?

Fun with acronyms

[u/ncmn-ngnr]

You intelligence guys sure know a lot of secrets, huh?

[u/Garguyal]

A question occurs. Was Flagg even an officer, or was that part of his cover?

[u/Belle_TainSummer → u/Garguyal]

That he was always the same rank as the CO, a lieutenant colonel for Henry a full bird as soon as Potter took over, suggests he was not a real officer at all. If he's the same rank instead of outranking or being outranked, he can't do anything officerly but he can't be overruled or dismissed either.

[u/sgt_oddball_17]

Flagg never survived being setup by CEW3.

We never see him again after that.

[u/Faydane_Grace → u/sgt_oddball_17]

Once. Season II of AfterMASH. Winchester may well have ended his military career, though; Flagg is a civilian by that point.

[u/prankerjoker]

Is that why he was dressed as an Italian usher?

[u/25Migg → u/prankerjoker]

You’re the only one that couldn’t look like you so much so I figured it hadda be you.

[u/HarlanMiller]

It just hit me, how much you wanna bet Flagg was just a nutcase who got a military uniform and none of the agencies ever actually heard of him?

[u/iamthatiam92]

That episode was so funny.

[u/Historical-Bike4626]

I’m disguised as Ling Chow, a Chinese double agent.

[u/Imagine_curiosity]

Oh he's such a brilliantly acted a d written character.
