I agree that the last episode could have been much better.
For example we did not get to see them back in the USA
when the press led us to believe that was the case. Trap
and Radar and Frank could have met them as they deplaned.
Henry could have been a mia or pow released but these items
were not even touched upon.
Recall that Trapper had to leave without saying goodbye--
these are the frotunes of war.  I thought it was perfectly
correct to parallel this situation with BJ but then the
entire effect was ruined when he came back.  I think it
would have been better to let Larry Gelbart and Gene
Reynolds write and produce the finale instead of
Alda and Metcalf.
