The Chaplain's Pilgrimage to Wintergreen

The chaplain travels to the mainland to seek help from ex-P.F.C. Wintergreen, hoping he can influence the number of missions. Wintergreen is too busy to see him, and his assistant gives the chaplain a stolen Zippo lighter. The trip is a failure, demonstrating that even the most well-intentioned efforts are powerless against the military bureaucracy.
