Chapter 10-Where Does It All Connect?

There is no doubt that this novel is a wild one.  It jumps from war stories, to plane crashes, to random deaths, to alien abductions, etc.  Throughout the story I was waiting for all of these accounts to overlap, i guess, and for them to finally connect.  I feel like they do, but in a different sense.  You see Vonnegut says in the beginning that there is nothing really intelligent to be said about war and violence.  I think that he jumps around like this to show how no one can really analyze war and that there is nothing much that he can say about it.  So instead he uses Billy, a weak and vulnerable character, to show the nasty side of war that not many people hear about.  Most people think of war as a valiant cause that people fight for with their lives.  However, Vonnegut is saying that war, especially WWII, is nothing but a bunch of lost human beings, like Billy and Weary, fighting and dying by the millions for no real reason.
