This note was written in advance therefore you planned this and are not genuinely sick. Catch 22.
One of my dislikes of catch 22's titular catch is couldn't you plead insanity for some reason unrelated to going into the air? Like "every time I hear machine-gun fire, I curl into a ball" or something? I will fly with a white flag hanging out the window and surrender to the soviets. Other odds and ends
Won't the state just let me be free if I only use slightly different phrasing to get off on a technicality? ofc not that is lolbertarian thinking.
There are multiple catch 22's in the book and it is sometimes rationalized with tortured logic and other times just a mantra repeated while they beat you.
Surrendering to the soviets in Italy might prove a challenge but I guess you're just built different.
I think I watched half the movie as a kid. Maybe I should give it another shot.
Idk, you could just fly elsewhere. If you keep deserting and they've stopped doing battlefield executions, you'll get some prison time and probably survive the war. It wasn't necessarily about where you flew to, just getting out of a 50% death chance.
