Henry Brown guest stars

Warning: Spoilers
Henry Brown should have been nominated for an Emmy for his guest starring role in this episode about loss and limbs. It's quite moving, with Hawkeye facing a dilemma on the operating table, and its aftermath.
Here Frank's role is diminishing, and it's no surprise he's gone by the end of this season.
