And of course control tower had to stand safely because without Milo’s commands navigators wouldn’t know what to destroy. When colonel Cathcart told him it was quite rude, Milo labeled him an enemy of free enterprising in order what colonel humbly called off his statement. He deposed that the trade doesn’t see any contrasts between folks. Only condition to trade is who pays first and best.
Another important character (colonel Cathcart) doesn’t care about anything then his own career. Increases amount of aerial assaults in order to gain appreciation of his governing general Peckem. Any time few soldiers finish current amount of assaults they pack their lugagge and get ready to go home. Hungry Joe becomes angry and stressed as he is impatient to get “home ferry”. He howles all the night and sleeps with Huple’s cat on his face. Wakes up with red eyes confident that he wasn’t sleeping last night at all.
Then everything turns back. Colonel Cathcart increases amount of assaults again and nights become calm again. This time Yossarian leaves camp and goes to Rome or hospital with his unfathomable liver because he needed just two or three more assaults to fulfill requested amount of assaults.
Colonel Cathcart is not evil. He just wants to promote. He is prototype of ruthless swab who wants to become even ruthelesser swab. And he uses all the means he’s able to. But it wouldn’t be enough. Light colonel Korn provides him all the help he can. Increasing amount of assaults seems to be a best way how to look marvellous in eyes of general Peckem.
A.T. Tappman, parson of american army is an accurate opposite of Cathcart. He is not sure about anything. When Yossarian begun signing himself Washington Irving on censored letters which left completely blacken with only sentence: “Greetings from A. T. Tappman, parson of US army.” in the camp had appeared a counterspy who wanted to find that mysterious Washington Irving. When Yossarian was really bored changed his signature to Irving Washington what desoriented counterspy even more. First suspicious person was of course the parson. A highly reasonable evidence of this was fact that parson told to colonel that soldiers worship the same god than swabs which resulted into cancellation of masses before the assaults. Parson was told that HE is Washington Irving or maybe Irving Washington. Noone knew eaxactly. Maybe Washington Irving and Irving Washington is the same person but it’s not sure. Because of this parson begun doubt about himslef.
