Buddy: There was a Major Major Major in “Catch 22″.

I met him in ’67 at Ramstein. He’d changed his name by then, but was still a Major. Came to and left his office by a window to avoid the folks lined up at the Base Housing Office counter. Milo Minderbinder had fallen on hard times by then, but was still trading…Army field jackets and coffee for Air Force bomb dolly running gear. All put to good use. The stories I could tell. And most folks thought Heller wrote fiction.
