The war took its emotional, physical toll on all of them. Does it ever bother you that because the series lasted 11 yrs everyone looked much older than they should? Just curious.

Yeah, the series lasted three times longer than the actual Korean War, and the actors aged eleven years, but as I said, and as phantomeagle also pointed out, the war would have taken a toll on them not just mentally and emotionally, but physically too, so I can totally buy Hawkeye's jet black hair going gray in three years in a war. Margaret is less forgivable though, mainly because Loretta started having so much work done in those later seasons: between the nips and tucks, the tans, and those 80s-style perms, she clearly didn't look like the same person.

No, though i probably saw the ME TV article while i was scrolling on Facebook. I do agree with everyone that the aging wasn't a problem with me as the war took such an emotional, psychological,and physical toll on each of them. Why Loretta chose cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures when she was a naturally pretty woman i don't understand.
