“Murderers?" Dobbs was affronted. "Why do you call us murderers? Just because we’re going to murder Colonel Cathcart?”

Possibly not. It depends upon the context. Does Dobbs believe that he is actually going to commit murder or is he just repeating what was said to him?
-he is doing a bit of both
This convo was from the book Catch-22 so tell the author that it was poorly written. And just how exactly do I have "too much time on my hands?"

Well it could be considered sarcasm, but I prefer saying that your question was the most insightful and though out question I ever had the pleasure of answering.

No but it's poorly written.
How can they be murderers if they haven't murdered anyone yet.
