I loved it, it's funny, it's silly and then when you least expect it on thick and the abject horror of war sinks in, it's very much in the same vein as Kubrick's Dr Strangelove.

Kubrick and Heller had a long phone conversation, now that you mention it. It's published in a book on Kubrick.

I hate it. Tried it twice 8 years apart, dropped it both times. The humor gets stale quickly

Its brilliant. Humourous at times and dark at others. The ending was immensely cathartic to me.
