3) When Captain Black was talking to his cohorts and he said this quote it coincided with his thoughts of true Patriotism or the loyalty of people to their country. He believed that the more loyalty papers signed the more loyal a person was. He backed this statement up by giving the example of why people make young children pledge allegiance before they truly know what they are doing. I believe it is overexaggerated Patriotism and that his take on it is Patriotic however everyone isn't going to be as Patriotic as he may see fit. Also, he's saying that as long as people are pledging allegiance they are connected to an august body and their allegiance is to this country instead of another.
4) When Yossarian said this quote to Clevinger I believe he meant that it is possible to be killed in the line of duty by anyone. Therefore, an enemy is one that harms you and killing a person is the utmost harmful. So, it is superstition because everyone isn't out to get just one person, but the rational is life basically is everyone for themselves and when a person looks out for themselves they are mostly kept from the harm of others.
5) When Colonel Cathcart addressed Colonel Korn with this quote he seemed to have being sarcastic becasue Yossarian didn't drop his bombs the first time and went around twice. So, he was intending make Yossarian look like a fool because of his act. They eventually decided to make him captain also because he was "brave" enough to go around the target twice. The sense of guilt was Yossarian had messed up so he was already guilty now he had the Colonel's rubbing it in his face, for trying to do his duty.
