I'm not sure what Burns' long term future is, but I have a feeling he might get captured by some unsavory types in a later episode. (Think of this fic as a "two hour pilot" of sorts.)
Klingons? If they capture Burns, his psychotic break will come early. Copied from mash.wikia.com: Burns was given to emotionally unstable and childish outbursts, especially when he didn't get his own way … He was once described by Larry Linville, who played him on TV, as a man with "a mind that had stripped its gears."
So Linville chose to portray him as a sick man. Fascinating! Another paragraph from the site:
A commentator on Ken Levine's blog recalled how Linville once dealt with criticism that the Frank Burns character was too much of a caricature and unrealistic. Linville had said that whenever he met with groups of veterans who were fans of M*A*S*H, he would ask them which character they thought was the most realistic. Invariably, the veterans would choose Frank Burns, because they also had that "SOB" in their outfits.
