** In the books, Nately's whore is always tired and behaves coldly and mechanically around him, resenting his attention. After she finally gets some sleep, she falls in love with him. In the series, she is always charming and vivacious, milking Nately for as much money as she can while caring nothing for him one way or the other.
** In the novels, the soldier in white never speaks, implying that he's unwilling or unable to speak, possibly because he's unconscious. Yossarian yells at the Texan for uselessly talking to him. In the series, when Yossarian starts yelling at the Texan, the soldier in white casually pipes up that he's perfectly happy listening to the Texan.

** In the books, Major ---- de Coverley is TheVoiceless and cuts such an impressive figure that no one dares speak to him. When he does speak, it's in broken English, suggesting that he's actually dimwitted. In the series, however, he's an erudite man who speaks frequently, is about as intelligent as anyone else on the base, and while he is seen to intimidate most of the men in the mess hall, none of them seem to have a problem speaking to him.
