Remember in the Little Prince the planet with the drinker who drinks to forget his shame about his drinking? Yossarian's gal in Catch 22 refuses to marry him becuase she says he is crazy for not being married. Every time he meets the number of missions flown to qualify for rotation, the powers that be raise the required number of missions. Asking for a wakevac in such situations is the sanest thing anyone could do. Therfore one is ineligible. Catch 22.
This film is worth it for the bit parts alone, such as Newhart as Major Major who will only let his clerk show people into his office when he is out. Yossarian's end is ironic, stabbed by another's hoar he risked life to comfort. By the end he even lacks Jobian comfortors: one blown to bits, one killed himself, one chopped in two, one disappeared, one a murderer, one a zombie, one at the bottom of the sea.
