No question MASH was anti-war.

However, using black humor to cope with the carnage of war was a running theme throughout the entire run of the show.

“....using black humor to cope with the carnage of war ...”

There is no type of humor downrange that can cover the reality of combat. And the patients in the show were always very compliant and calm. They obviously didn’t have much in line.
