“He came from a rich, republican family in Boston and went to Harvard Medical School. He believed he was not suited to be in army service with the plebes of an army surgical unit. Then we see other characteristics about him. His family sends him expensive chocolate for Christmas, but he doesn’t share it with anyone. His friends think he is being selfish. Turns out he was donating the candy to a charity so kids in war-torn Korea could taste ‘real chocolate.'”
“It turns out the orphanage was selling the candy, at black market prices, instead of giving it to the kids. Charles corners the charity guy and yells at him. Then the guy apologizes and explains, yeah, the chocolate may give the kids a moment of joy, but now we have enough money to buy the orphanage rice and cabbage for a month.
Charles says HE is the one who should apologize.”
