One of the most sinister bits of dialogue from the book. So applicable to today's world.
:-----:
1st Lt. Milo Minderbinder:
Nately died a wealthy man, Yossarian. He had over sixty shares in the syndicate.
Yossarian:
What difference does that make? He's dead.
1st Lt. Milo Minderbinder:
Then his family will get it.
Yossarian:
He didn't have time to have a family.
1st Lt. Milo Minderbinder:
Then his parents will get it.
Yossarian:
They don't need it, they're rich.
1st Lt. Milo Minderbinder:
Then they'll understand.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I remember the scene where Yossarian needed a parachute. He opened the compartment where it was supposed to be, and Milo put a "share" in there for taking the parachute.

The rest of the scene still gives me chills. He's trying to give aid to Snowden, and his sides split open. Having done emergency first aid before, I remember the passages in the book vividly as Yossarian was trying to keep his calm tending to Snowden's leg wound.
"There, there. There, there."
