Kavanagh admires a young military defendant's decision to confess to a crime he didn't commit. He does this as an act of friendship for a military colleague he has known since boyhood. The problem is that this act leaves that young military friend at the mercy of an immediate superior whose antipathy to the friend is, as Kavanagh learns, even more sinister. Despite this realization, Kavanagh does not use this information in questioning the superior officer and so leaves us with a very unsatisfactory conclusion to the story. "Greater love ..." says Kavanagh at the end, presumably the moral of the tale. "Greater stupidity ... " is more like it. This one really disappoints.
