- GoofsMargaret wearing her hair down in uniform, especially a Class A uniform, is against regulations. In the military, the hair length restriction for a female is defined as hair that extends beyond the lower edge of the collar. Hair must be neatly and inconspicuously fastened or pinned, as a bun or something otherwise conservative. Bangs are allowed.

Featured review
They'll Do Anything
Don't cross these guys. If a group of doctors did what these guys do, it would test the mettle of anyone. Hawkeye is at the breaking point, but Henry takes off, leaving Frank in charge. Of course, R & R is going to be almost impossible and Frank becomes the usual tyrant, incompetently mishandling things. Hawkeye decides to bring in the heavy artillery. He chews out a beautiful nurse after she sort of propositions him, he pretends he is eating a North Korean's liver, and on and on. Instead of giving in, Frank and Margaret call in a psychiatrist (Stuart Margolin) to check on him. He is a cold fish but has a thing for Major Houlihan. He decides to actually have Hawkeye committed to a mental hospital. Now the fun really starts. One of many episodes where Hawkeye deals with authority figures for whom he has no respect.
