M*A*S*H had similar inconsistencies. In early episodes, Hawkeye's mother was still alive. Later, she had died when he was a child. Klinger had blood group A (iirc) in one episode, then AB- in a later one (to Major Winchester's chagrin). Colonel Blake's wife was called Mildred initially, then Lorraine several episodes later. Mildred then got transplanted onto Colonel Potter. And good luck trying to come up with a consistent timeline - the whole series takes place between some time after the start of the war in 1950 to June 1953, yet certain first-season episodes indicate that the 4077th had been in situ for at least a year. Colonel Potter and BJ Hunnicut arrive in late September 1952, despite a much later episode showing them already there throughout 1951.
The reason should be obvious. Many writers working over many years. There are more parallels than merely the 38th.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
I love M*A*S*H. Best series ever. It's even better than Trek.

I'll try to get the wife back on the boards for a no bullshit explanation of how a person works out those discrepancies. Long story short...sane people are fine with the writers of an anthology fudging the details between them.
No one -has- to tie their scrotum into a knot over it..that's a personal choice they make.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

MASH was brilliant It was funny when it needed to be and soul destroying when it had to be . That episode with Hawkeye and the bus and the baby ......Still have not gotten over that.

Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
