Hocus Pocus by Vonnegut.

This one deals with Vietnam war. The main character is Vietnam war veteran and now a professor at college.

Another awesome work.

According to Amazon reviewer: "My hands-down favorite. Vonnegut is in rare form here. Beware: Vonnegut is addictive, like heroin or cocaine..."

Well said.

Quotes from the book:

He told me to cheer up, that 1,000,000,000 Chinese were about to throw off the yoke of Communism. After they did that he said, they would all want automobiles and tires and gasoline and so forth.
....

Can you imagine what 1,000,000,000 Chinese in automobiles would do to each other and what's left of the atmosphere?

And this:

Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to to maintenance.

And the worst flaw is that we're just plain dumb. Admit it!
