The way the MASH fandom tends to imagine the ages of the characters is fascinating to me. I keep seeing people referring to various main characters (except Potter and Radar) as “middle-aged”. While to my knowledge we do not have an exact age for any of the characters, I don’t think this assumption can be correct.

While references to character ages within the show are all over the place, in keeping with typically nonsensical MASH continuity, we do have concrete information from the cast on this. Alan Alda stated that Hawkeye is in his late 20s. This would make sense both for him and for BJ, Trapper, and all other assorted surgeons, given where they are in their professional and personal lives. The one exception to this would be Charles, who David Ogden Stiers mentioned was intended to be in his mid-30s, which would in turn make sense for Charles specifically, as he is clearly farther along in a surgeon’s career path than the others, he is the only doctor who has multiple specialties (thoracic and pediatric), and personality-wise he generally acts older than the other Swamp Rats.   Real life statistics back this up, as well! The age range of the draft at this time was 18 & 1/2 to 35. (Also, notably, those who served in WWII were exempted from taking part in the Korean War draft, which would be evidence that none of the men in the show besides Potter served in WWII, for what that’s worth.) And that range was heavily weighted toward the lower end. When the show makes a big deal about how young the soldiers they treat are, it’s being absolutely realistic: the average age of a Korean War soldier in 1950 was 19!

The character who most inspired this post, however, I don’t think anyone ever mentioned an age for at any point: Klinger. Almost without exception, I see people talk about Klinger with the assumption that he is the same age as the doctor characters. This has always confused me, because I see no reason that should be true! It makes sense that the doctors would skew quite above the average draftee age of 19 because of the age constraints of their profession, but there is absolutely no reason to assume that same skewing would apply to Klinger, a random enlisted person. 

In fact, there are several pieces of evidence in support of the idea of him being younger, perhaps 19-23. While he does call Radar “kid” a few times, implying he is older than him, they are also very close friends and Radar clearly does not treat him with the same “little sibling” attitude that he does Hawkeye & co. (Plus, Radar and Klinger are given equivalent places in the narrative constantly. In just about every other aspect, we are clearly meant to see them as having “equal status”, so why not in regards to age?)

There’s also the whole Laverne thing. The mere fact of his getting married makes him seem older to a modern audience, but we must remember that back in 1950, people tended to marry earlier than today. (Average age of marriage in 1950 was 20 for women, 23 for men.) Klinger says Laverne was his highschool sweetheart, and it’s implied that they’ve been together steadily since then. We know he very much WANTS to get married and have a family. Given the aforementioned cultural norms, if he’s even in his late 20s, it would be weird that he’s not already married before the show starts.  

Additionally, there’s his apparent position career-wise, which is: he does not have a career yet! He mentions a lot of summer jobs doing various different things, usually helping a family member’s business, which would make total sense for a college-age kid with no socioeconomic opportunity to actually go to college. Given how hardworking and eager to learn Klinger is (remember his multiple correspondence courses--another age-appropriate similarity with Radar), if he were middle-aged, he would surely already have a good blue-collar union profession. (Again, cultural norms: they had not yet invented the horror of the gig economy in the 50s lol.) 

This post is getting way too long, but I do feel quite passionate about this subject, especially with regards to Klinger. The fact that Radar’s age is such a huge part of his character, but Klinger is implicitly treated by the show, and thus seen by the fandom, as much older even though there’s no REASON for that..... It makes me think. Especially given the way youth of color are treated in both reality and fiction. Especially given how despicably the other characters treat him in late seasons, making fun of him for being incompetent and stupid. I know it’s really not that deep! But it just makes me think. 

(On a lighter note, I also think it’s useful to keep in mind the canonical age difference between a 32-34 year old Charles and his 26-29 year old roommates. And his age means he NEARLY aged out of draft eligibility, too!)

(”Where does Margaret come into this?” you ask. I’m honestly not sure! I don’t recall any canonical statement of her age either, in-universe or out. It’s important to note, though, that the average age of nurses was definitely higher than that of the male draftees. I couldn’t find data for Korea specifically, but during WWII, the age requirements for the army nurse corps were 21-40, later 21-45. Again, these are medical professionals, so this increased age makes sense. (And the show actually gives us some older nurse characters!) It makes sense for Margaret to be on the higher end of this spectrum, given her high rank and status, but not super high, given that she’s highly skilled and extremely ambitious.)

But beyond individual characters, I wish the age thing were more concrete and acknowledged, just for the sake of the whole tone of the show! I really wish they’d gone out of their way to portray the truth: that aside from the medical professionals, the average age of the enlisted men at the 4077th should be nineteen years old. That all of their patients really are just babies to these doctors (and to the older nurses as well!). It would really help drive home some of the points the series tried so hard to make.

so I had some of the drink that makes you scared- the drink that makes you scared? Drinks can't do that, but it did, I'm telling you, I went to my coffee maker and got a nice mug of the stuff and now I'm scared. So you're saying there's a drink. That made you scared. No I mean I don't think it's actually the drink, it's the caffeine. But even if, hypothetically, a drink could make you scared, I bet I could drink it and not be scared. Dude, don't do it, I'm telling you, it's not worth it. But the theory! I must prove it cannot, once and for all, cannot make you scared.

One week later: so I drank some of the drink that makes you scared- and now I'm scared.

i love smiley faces, melons, and butterflies/moths, and some of my other interests include object shows (especially bfdi, ii, and one), welcome home, stranger things, deltarune/undertale, pokemon, kirby, animal crossing, and my little pony!

i am a white autistic jew, and also a minor. please keep these in mind while interacting with me! in addition, while i don't hate being messaged directly, it tends to make me nervous - so feel free to make the most of my ask box!

i have other sideblogs as well! they're just a lot less active, so i'm not sharing any of them here.

my extended kinlist:

(wip - trying to get this to a concise, readable format :D)

my kinlist is long enough as it is, but chances are that there are more characters i associate myself with that i forgot to include :') be aware that i might update this from time to time.

in addition, i might periodically change which characters i have a star (☆ or ☆☆) on - those are characters whom i most strongly associate with at the moment.

and doubles are more than okay! if you kin the same character as me, we probably have something in common...

thank you so much for reading through! i hope you have the loveliest of lovely days!

goodbye :)

I hope the amount of research I have to do for c:u! shows because it’s the most frustrating aspect of this project LOL

#jontalks #sorry for deleting prev post and ask I do that then get extremely paranoid I shared too much and nuke everything LOL #I can def talk about second update because that is when the cast expands that’s not spoilers you’ve read the presentation walkthrough page #I hope #anyway I have a very like big problem where I get extremely irrationally angry when someone tries to do something with older tech and it #very obviously wouldn’t do that. can’t do that. or just doesn’t make sense for the time #like every god damn analog horror series just putting boring ass text on a blank background or using ballroom music #that doesn’t make sense and you fucking suck #you can take some liberties SURE but you better show me some accuracy with all the other shit #this reminds me when mag protocol was like haha isn’t weird for this old software to have text to speech and I screemed in pain so loud #my throat hurt from how mad I was #do you know how painful it was to do any trope in c:u for the first update like the glitching I started crying bc I was like it wouldn’t #do this…..noooo..nooooo but I’ll remember I’m basing this more off creepypastas then stupid ass analog horror series and calm down #I don’t like analog horror I hope this is apparent #walten files gets a pass bc the fourth tape actually knocked me on my ass

i need to defend WORF on the internet

#p #most of my experience w reddit is poking around various hobbyist/media subs and it gives me random push notifs for posts #most recent of which was on the ds9 sub complaining abt alexander's writing. which is relevant to my interests lol #but Several ppl on it concluded that the mess of the writing/worf's Outright Bad parenting in ds9 add up to him being Overall A Bad Person #which had me lowkey seeing red. his personal code IS mostly based on old texts and he DOES fuck up a lot but he's in a PRETTY SHIT situatio #and with alexander in tng at least it's clear TO ME that he was trying his best to be a good father the whole time. and failing at it lol #some of the same ppl commented on his ultimate choice w kurn in sons of mogh w which i have less to argue abt #but nonetheless i dont think it merits a judgement on him overall bc AGAIN! shit situation

For anyone wondering what a completely clutter free dashboard looks like thanks to XKit btw...

coupled with the old blue theme of course (whose bright (read: pisspoor) idea was it to change that color?)!

All the information for my blog is under the little person icon in the top right corner as a drop down.

Also, since I have the old blue, it reverts the icon colors to that theme's color too. No goddamn neon colors on my buttons.

#DCB Comments #hi sev. :))) #I've been trying to find the settings if they still exist/work for the old sidebar #it had all the info from the drop down but on the right side of the page #and formatted in a Tumblr based style (i.e. not like Twitter like the new update) #I still prefer the sidebar menu tbh lol.
