Catch 22 is a satire of the army. Joseph Heller takes aim at everything in this book, from IBM computers (like the one that messed up and Promoted Major Major to Major because it read his first name (which was also major) as a rank), the farmer and government farming subsidizing, incompetence among the generals and other higher officers (for example, Col Cathcarts huge concern for being featured in a magazine), and also capitalsm (as shown with the case of Milo) and more....Everything is presented through dark humor....very dark humor.....
There was a movie made of it too...it was staring Alan Arkin, Art Garfunkel, Martin Sheen, Orson Wells, Martin Balsom, Buck Henry, Jon Voight, Anthony Perkins and I think some others....it is funny, but they cut a great deal out of the book (which you would have had to do...the books only like 200 pages, but theres alot of story lines and over 50 important characters..(and they cut out my favorite...ex-pfc Wintergreen!)..) ....the book jumps around quite a bit...you hear Yosarrian mention something on one page, and it seems out of place (Like how he justs mentions out of nowhere "it happened the day after Milo bombed our base"), but later on you get the full explanation.....its confusing, but its worth it at the end
