The Mash Series Lasts Longer Than the War

Only a fool stays in because there's no way of pulling it out right they recognize early before they get the sunk cost which you brought up earlier. I remember some mash episodes where people had nothing and they just kept putting more and more in the pot trying to bluff their way to a win. It doesn't usually bode well every once in a while does but but sometimes most of time does for our younger audience that mash was a TV show in the 70s that was based on the Korean War.
