Me too... Watching M*A*S*H as a kid heavily influenced my decision to go into the Army.

As for Kinger comments.. and I have yet to find a detractor that is that intellegent, I would not sweat it. James is correct, demonstrating a positive attitude and not accepting the comment as a challenge will undoubtedly put you ahead of the game. Don't let them laugh at you, make them laugh with you.
