As they celebrated Trapper's impending discharge, only Radar and Trapper knew the secret. Radar watched, empathetically as the members of the 4077th
showered Trapper with going away gifts, having no idea he wasn't really going away. Darn the army for giving him hope that he would soon be going home only to
take it away again! Gee, you'd think that an ulcer would be enough to let a guy go home to see his wife and kids. It wasn't fair. But Radar knew that if Trapper left,
he'd miss him a lot. Trapper was a good guy .
