"I'm afraid he's got you..."

I meant to post this earlier, but had technical difficulties.

An illustration from this excerpt of Catch-22, by Joseph Heller:


‘Hasn’t he got any patriotism?’

‘Won’t you fight for your country?’ Colonel Korn demanded, emulating Colonel Cathcart’s harsh, self-righteous tone. Won’t you give up your life for Colonel Cathcart and me?’

Yossarian tensed with alert astonishment when he heard Colonel Korn’s concluding words. ‘What’s that?’ he exclaimed. ‘What have you and Colonel Cathcart got to do with my country? You’re not the same.’

‘How can you separate us?’ Colonel Korn inquired with ironical tranquility.

‘That’s right’ Colonel Cathcart cried emphatically. You’re either for us of against us. There’s no two ways about it.”

‘I’m afraid he’s got you,’ added Colonel Korn. ‘You’re either for us or against your country. It’s as simple as that.’

‘Oh, no, Colonel. I don’t buy that.’

Colonel Korn was unruffled. ‘Neither do I, frankly, but everyone else will. So there you are.’
