"When I look up, I see people cashing in. I don't see heaven or saints or angels. I see people cashing in on every decent impulse and every human tragedy." pg. 445
Yossarian, at this point, has given up on his country. He's "been fighting all along to save my country. Now I'm going to fight a little to save myself" pg 446. Really, he's completely justified in giving up. He keeps fighting for his country, and they keep betraying him with rules, and with upping the amount of missions it takes to go home. The men, even the ones he cares for, are greedy. The greatest example of this is Milo; his work in the black market causes the death of numerous men, namely, Yossarian's roommate. However, many many men still support him, because they are greedy. In my opinion, Yossarian is right to finally think about himself.
