Alan Arkin shines as Yossarian, a bombadier who realizes the hopelessness of ever completing the number of missions required to be rotated out of harm's way; his commanding officers (Balsam and Henry) are constantly upping the number once anyone gets close. Yossarian decides his best bet is to try for a medical disqualification for flight under the grounds that it's insane to fly these missions, and since he's flying them, he must be insane. But the flight surgeon (Jack Gilford) declares anyone who realizes the insanity of the situation must, by definition, be sane, and therefore must continue to fly.

the chances of their being next to no (see also 0.0001%) chance of a correlation between the events of September 11th, the VT shooting, and the nutter at NASA. What possible connection other than a tragic loss of life could these events possible have, one was a terrorist act, another involved large doses of insanity, and the most recent one (NASA) was a disgruntled employee.
