...25 missions. I don't think Yossarian even made it to 25 missions.

I don't think Yossarian even made it to 25 missions.That's because he refused to fly: They were trying to kill him.

IIRC, that 25 mission limit for 25 missions in the USAAF didn’t even make it out of 1943. They upped it fairly early on, and there was quite nearly a mutiny...aircrew morale was very low at that point.
I can only imagine the discord a moving target like that would cause.
