Details:

	Michael C. Scoggins argues that Heller’s military career played a much greater role in the concept and structure of "Catch-22" than most critics have ever suspected. Many of the characters and incidents in the novel were in fact drawn directly from Heller’s tour of duty and were simply modified or exaggerated for dramatic effect.
