Colonel Cathcart Considers Prayer Meetings

Colonel Cathcart, desperate for a feather in his cap, considers holding prayer meetings before missions, inspired by an article in The Saturday Evening Post. He summons the chaplain to discuss it, but the plan falls apart when the chaplain mentions including enlisted men and atheists. Cathcart abandons the idea, fearing it might backfire. The episode satirizes Cathcart's shallow religiosity and his obsession with publicity, showing that his concern is not with God but with his own career.
