In a split-second scene in the 1969 Robert Altman movie M*A*S*H, we get to see into the mind of an American Army doctor as he learns that his orders have come through and he will be going home from the war in Korea. The Army doc visualizes stepping off an airplane in his hometown and spotting his wife and young children on the tarmac. He grins, tosses his hat in the air, and rushes to greet them. As he is engulfed in hugs and kisses, a marching band plays a patriotic tune.
