At the beginning of Catch-22, Yossarian and some of his fellow cadets were in the Hospital. He was affaid to go back to the war, so he began making up stories about his illnesses to stay Hospitalized. He had decided that it is better to be there rather than taking bullets out in the fields.

Once he decided to leave the Hospital, he went back to his berricks. He ended up in a conversation with Orr. Orr was talking about how he would put crab apples and horse chesnuts in the side of his cheeks, kind of like a squirrel. He did this all because it was a dream of his to have big cheeks. Yossarian didn't understand why Orr would want big cheeks but he didn't bother asking because he feared he would get even more confused in the matter.

Yossarian thinks everyone is out to kill him. One guy, Dunbar, tries to convince Yossarian that they are in a war, therefore everyone is out to kill everyone. Dunbar dislikes Yosarrian very much and thinks Yossarian is very stupid. Many people think that Yossarian is crazy because of his theory about everyone being out to get him. Yossarian, in return, thinks everyone there is crazy.

In my oppinion, they all are just a bit crazy. One guy, Dr. Stubb, is beginning to think that staying alive is a just a waste of time. He loves being a doctor and saving others, but just doesn't see anything to live for. because of this, he thinks he is the only non-crazy person in the war. Yossarian, I think, just wants to go home.
