All four of these are amazing, I must say. I adore each of them, but for different reasons.
The first one - This is something I have been looking for in MASH fanfiction: a trip into Frank's mind where he wants to be stronger; you characterized this perfectly by having Frank imagine himself as a monster. Frank is just that sort of person and reading this truly felt like a trip into his psyche, especially since you included Frank/Margaret, which I feel is an important part of Frank, and it was nice to see that played upon.
The second one - Quick note, you mislabeled it as 'Henry/Frank' in its header. On to the story itself, it never feels like there is enough Henry/Radar and that highlights the story's other pluses. It's sweet, curt, and the perfect voice of Henry, he's in in character with musing that seem so natural to him. The last four lines are what really got me: they perfectly capture Henry, the way he works and thinks.
The third one - I adore how so much of this is Hawkeye's musings on Frank and how it flows into to that last biting sentence. It's powerful and cutting. Hawkeye's words about Frank seem to be just the sort of things he would say: the quip about the butter knife which melds right into a serious statement. That's so perfectly Hawkeye. And those last two lines... oh I'm not even sure what to say to express how much I love them! Just know that I think they're great because I can't even begin to articulate why I like them so much.
The fourth one - Yet again, I'm not sure what words can explain my love, I sort of fall speechless at Trapper/Hawkeye. This story moves, it runs and flows smoothly from beginning to end in a way that made me have to read it again because I was sure I missed something. The fact that it's only two sentences only adds to how fast it moves. The small details in this are amazing, each word seems so perfectly picked to describe every little thing that is happening.
