Father Mulchaey approached the young corporal's bedside. Thankfully, Radar had finally fallen asleep. He needed his rest. But Francis was deeply troubled. It was
hard to believe that just moments earlier, the boy was crying, and unnecessarily apologetic for the way he'd spoken to Hawkeye. Even more troubling was that
Hawkeye was the cause of the problem, having said things that hurt Radar deeper than the shrapnel that caused his unfortunate injuries. Francis sat, watching
Radar sleep, but he could think of no words. Instead, he squeezed the boy's hand and said a silent prayer of healing and forgiveness.
