Most people know of, or remember, the final episodes/movie of this show. Hawkeye suffers a severe mental breakdown triggered by an extremely traumatic experience.
Although other reviews diss this episode, it's the first time we really see Hawkeye having a mental health episode.
At the time of airing, America was involved in the Vietnam War, and the topic of mental health wasn't a well-talked about thing, nor was it researched. No doubt an episode like this brought up conversations about mental health which the army probably didn't want to hear.
In any case, as a narrative over the series, this episode is important because we see a glimpse into the mental health of not soldiers, but regular people who found themselves in the middle of a war. Especially Hawkeye, whom we know has a breakdown in the finale.
