Ring Lardner Jr., who wrote the movie's screenplay, actually had been a Communist. Richard Hooker, who wrote the books was furious at the film and TV treatment of his work. He was a solid right winger.

Richard Hooker, who wrote the books was furious at the film and TV treatment of his work. He was a solid right winger.I came across his latter book (before the numerous ghost-written knock-offs), "M*A*S*H Goes to Maine" that made his conservative credentials clear. One remembered comment made by Hooker in his guise of Hawkeye indicated his antipathy for Democrats and liberals in general.
