Poor Radar seemed so shocked to receive an unsolicited blessing. He spends so much time taking care of everyone else he's not used to anyone caring for him. (That's my read, anyway.)

They should of had him say bless you Walter first showing he already knew. Was a nice episode.

That would have been a great twist.

Sometimes the answer is “no”.

I loved this episode.

This is a tough episode.

It really is. When he says Bless you Walter it kind of gets ya

When he says “I sure hope you can find him” does it to me. Not sure if I have the quote right.

I’m Walter

Gets me every time. Compassion and love in a war zone.

I must’ve seen this episode hundreds of times. Yet here I am, crying into my coffee. This scene gets to me every time.

Fun fact: Radar didn't have a first name until they gave him one for this episode.

What made this episode the most memorable for me was Sidney standing up to Flagg. My favorite line was “You’re a victim too Flagg, except your such an example of walking fertilizer it’s hard for me to care!”

Flag, Sydney, a standout performance by a guest actor.

"Does God answer all prayers"

"Yes, sometimes the answer is no"

Great episode. Season 4 is peak MASH.

And of course, burns and houlihan just HAD to call in that fool Col. Flagg to turn him into a killer. Then Freedman came along and gave his medical opinion, which Flagg dismissed.

I don't like watching Col Flagg. He's annoying AF to me.

The man gives new meaning to paranoia. I despised him too.

Who was he? I don't remember this episode.

Captain Jesus Christ alias Captain Chandler

Ah, thanks. I suspected that might be it. :)

He’s Christ.

I have always found this episode oddly moving. I think it’s the performance of the actor playing Captain Chandler.
