About Hacker[]
At the beginning of the episode "The Light That Failed", supplies are running low at the 4077th - gel foam, sutures, winter clothing, even light bulbs are becoming scarce.
Hacker arrives with a supply truck but it is carrying mostly useless items - salt tablets, an ice cream churn, insect repellent, and the like, Potter is fuming, asking, Who's the ignoramus who's responsible for all of this? and asks: "Didn't you wonder why you were shipping mosquito netting to a MASH unit in Korea in the dead of winter!??"
Hacker replies, "I used to, but it kept me up at nights, and I began to have worry lines, so I cut it out!" He then tells Potter to "look on the bright side!" When Potter responds, "There's a bright side to all of this?!?" Hacker wryly responds, "Summer is just six months away!!"
