Description

Many episodes contain period-typical casual sexism like men cat-calling, groping, peeping and making persistent advances towards women treated in a lighthearted, joking manner. S1E5: one soldier has a young, possibly underage Korean servant/slave who was sold to him by her family. There is no overt assault, but it is implied she is expected to perform sexual services. The plot of the episode revolves around the main characters trying and succeeding in freeing her. S1E7: two captains lead another captain to believe a major (woman) is interested in him. They set him up to sleep in her place (by lying, saying it is visitors quarter). When she comes (in the dark), he scares her when the first thing he is saying is if he should help with her bra and starts to make out with her despite her screaming and calling for help. Those two captains use this prank so that they get a vacation and that one of them does not get admitted by the psychiatrist. S3E2 + S5E1: the possibility of being raped by enemy soldiers if captured is briefly discussed by some characters, mostly in a serious tone, with any jokes implied to be a way of coping with the fear with black humour. S3E18: there is a scene where a false rape accusation is used to resolve a plot line and is treated in a very cavalier manner. A nurse makes advances towards a doctor who is initially uninterested but eventually responds. Hwever when someone walks in, because it would damage her reputation to be caught fraternizing, she claims he tried to rape her. No one takes it seriously and there is no resolution, the scene is entirely played for laughs. S8E8: an teenage Korean girl attempts to prostitute herself because she desperately needs money. The soldier she is propositioning is told she is underage but he clearly intends to go through with it anyway before he is stopped by a main character.
