Dunbar Is 'Disappeared'

After Dunbar's outburst in the hospital over the return of the soldier in white, Nurse Duckett warns Yossarian that they are going to 'disappear' Dunbar. Soon after, Dunbar is gone, and no one speaks of him. His disappearance is a chilling example of the military's power to eliminate dissenters without a trace. It shows that the threat of being 'disappeared' is a real and terrifying tool of control.
