i think ultimately what bj envies the most when it comes to trapper is his ability to retain his sense of self
#or what bj perceives as such anyway#because retaining his sense of self = ability to go home#despite the war#despite his sexual/romantic relationship with hawkeye#two things bj sees as a threat to his own identity#or well the identity he has created#which i think has something to do with the fact that bj only ever defines himself in terms of roles he occupies#a doctor#a misassigned civilian#a husband#a father#later a soldier#a chaplain#a joker#etc etc#all part of a longer bj/trapper post i’m currently rotating in my mind
