Soldiers of Mis/Fortune

Author Joseph Heller's tone towards Yossarian (and other soldiers) portrays them as kind of weak in a sense because they act like cowards. The main characters are hiding out in the hospitals so they can get out of fighting/battling, even though it's their job. He gives them actual human traits and not like "superhero" traits, for example, there are the soldiers like Yossarian messing with letters because they're bored. The soldiers aren't taking responsibility seriously. Heller's tone makes the book more relatable because he makes the characters seem like actual humans, not people who are brave and strong, but people who would actually do all those things and are afraid a lot of the time. It makes us, the audience, relate more to their actions and personalities because we're all afraid sometimes and tend to do a lot of things for fun and to get out of boredom. It gets the idea of satire across because instead of making the book heroic, savage, or even serious, he applies logic and observations that try and make sense out of the book.
