Decent....not great.

When the episode begins, General Savage has been gravely wounded and he needs surgery or he'll die. However, few surgeons can do this operation...and so they're waiting until he arrives. In the meantime, the General is in the hospital where he meets and befriends Sgt. Aronson (Sorrell Booke). Savage is taken by Aronson's anger at God and spends much of the film trying to help him. By the end of the show, as you'd expect, all is well and everyone is back to work!

This is an okay episode. To wonder about a God who could allow death and suffering is natural and a reasonable topic for the show. The resolution seemed a tad pat to me...though it was still an enjoyable episode.

By the way, IMDB was right...Booke was too unfit looking to be aboard a bomber. And, you might know that he later was famous as Boss Hogg on "The Dukes of Hazzard". What you probably don't know is that he studied at Yale and Columbia and was NOT the rube he played on the show.
