It inserts a cynical Joseph Heller Catch-22 type humour into the characters’ mindset, making the show that much more enjoyable to experience. There are many quotable lines of characters lambasting their superiors or the state of war in general. It makes it that much more compelling to see so many people on both sides of the conflict speak out their minds on the futility of what they’re embroiled in, making you the viewer, empathise with them all.
