Scarily prescient stuff! I imagine Korn and Cathcart as Rumsfeld and
Ashcroft. Bush would probably be Lieutenant Scheisskopf, Cheney is of
course
Milo Minderbinder (compare their attitudes on the outsourcing of the
military when they can make a profit)
"won't you fight for your country?" Colonel Korn demanded, emulating
Colonel
Cathcart's harsh,
self righteous tone. 'Won't you give up your life for Colonel Cathcart
and
me?'
Yossarian tensed with alert astonishment when he heard COlonel Korn's
concluding words.
'What's that?' he exclaimed.'What have you and Colonel Korn got to do
with my country?
You're not the same'
'How can you seperate us?' Colonel Korn inquired with ironical
tranquility.
'That's right' COlonel Cathcart creied emphatically.' You're either
for
us or against us.
There's no two ways about it'
'I'm afraid he's got you' added Colonel Korn. 'You're either for us or
against your country. It's as simple as that.'
'Oh no Colonel. I don't buy that'
Colonel Korn was unruffled.'Neither do I, frankly, but everyone else will.
So there you are'.
