My grandfather was an Aussie artilleryman who fought the Japanese in the jungles of Papua New Guinea. He didn’t mind the canned bully beef and hard tack that comprised the staple diet in the field, but to his dying day absolutely detested the powered eggs they were supplied with.
Thats pretty reasonable for the military especially the navy where you dont have a constant flow of supplies every day. Logistics dont transport themselves and feeding all the troops is good because it helps their effectiveness but the moment you waste food youve wasted the effort of many people. In wartime especially something like ww2 people could literally have died to get that food to you as ships trucks planes etc carrying supplies for troops are valid military targets and routinely attacked because you cant fight without the supplies to do so. The only time it might be acceptable is if youre attacked while eating and you all literally have to drop your food and defend yourselves. Even being able to take all you want is very generous. Not having a limit on food so long as you can eat all of what you take is a sign of well functioning supply.
A bull with a weird misguided obsession with Snafu ditches is wife on his honeymoon, and sacrifices himself to be food to be eaten by Snafu himself. His processed body, travels half way around the world, while his ghost fantasizes about Snafu eating him. When the food arrives Snafu does indeed eat most of him, but throws the rest of him away. The Bull's ghost angered and betrayed by this disgrace to his Snafu fetish kicks Snafu's ass and is left doomed to wander the earth for all eternity.
This could be one of the most subversive anti-war cartoons ever made. The bull is called up by Uncle Sam and pointlessly sacrifices himself because of a misguided sense of duty. His ghost in the end even admits that he regrets the haste in which he joined up.
It's not more of an anti-war but more of a what you should never do in the army, which is don't waste food. It is more like that but I can somewhat see the anti-war message in that
The whole point of Private Snafu was exactly as what the guy above me said, what not to do in the Army like how ones told to never waste food outside of the Army to begin with and all that.
@@JohnEDoey It was basically a bunch of cartoons that were both entertaining as well as contained info about what NOT to do. Remember that there were soldiers as young as 18 and training for volunteers could start as young as 17 with parental consent (not to mention the ones who were younger and used fake ID or lied about their age). Think of all the weird humour memes etc that that age bracket has today well this was the equivalent of meme humour back in the day and the army tried to use it to get messages about what not to do through. Also these were made by warner bros studios. Basically they told the army they could make cartoons for them and thus be reclassified as an essential business. Yeah the whole "essential workers" thing is not unique to covid except not being an essential worker back then meant you got drafted and sent to the military rather than stay home.
It was not only the bull but also the people who risked life and limb to make sure he got chow. A starving soldier can't fight. Supply lines are long and people at home went without (think about ration cards-and that rat who admired the butcher who ignored rationing, Ron Paul) A war effort takes national effort and sacrifice to feed, clothe and supply the soldier on the front lines. Seems like y'all forgot the lessons your grandparents learned. And they survived a Great Depression along with that.
@@dangelo1369 Another way to hammer home to a soldier the idea of not wasting food or any supplies really is point out that people have probably died to bring it to you. Supply lines get bombed all the time and the enemy doesnt only attack rear guard troops. In ww2 most ships that were sunk were unarmed or lightly armed supply ships not warships because if you deny the enemy chance to resupply you reduce their fighting ability and if denying supplies means bombing truck drivers and sinking supply ships well its war nobody plays fair in war.
This is somehow the most anti-war piece of propaganda I ever saw, for the life of me I do not know how it passed the approval comitee but a guy who wrote it laught all the way to the bank. Here we have a young recruit in the patriotic zeal signing up for an army and what happens to him? He got "processed", travelled in terrible conditions, and in the end his sacrifice meant nothing. It would take years for ANTI war movies to reach this level of based.
Richard Bickenbach pretty much dominates this whole cartoon (Cal Dalton helped a little). At first I thought this was directed by Freleng but this is a VERY WEAK Tashlin cartoon imho. Would’ve been a strong one if Dalton or Davis dominated this one
Cekeybula So are those who end up in Snafu’s situation (i.e. taking more than necessary) told to share with their comrades? That would probably make sense, given the finite supply of rations.
Educate yourself. Quickest single economic recovery in US history in just 2 years. Oil independent. Record job creation for minorities since 1969. Made China pay up what they owed us. Replaced NAFTA with a more viable agreement between us, Mexico and Canada. If there is any waste going on right now, it all happened on Jan. 21st with a few strokes of a pen the biggest of which was the elimination of 50,000 jobs. And if anyone thinks this cartoon is propaganda, it is certainly being outdone by the massive propaganda going on right now as we speak.
@@kurtb8474 I'm a farmer. That idiot trump destroyed the US grain prices with tariffs on China. Thanks to Joe Biden we now have grain prices that are more than double what they were a year ago. Trust me, I am educated, and I remember how much money I lost because of trump and how good it is under Joe Biden.
Gump got in the way more than did anything. The economy was going up BEFORE HE GOT ELECTED. 4.7 % unemployment it went as low as 3.5 under him then due to his lack of leadership went over 10% during the pandemic. It was easy for the farm animals to have bread when the hen did all the work. Gump is one of those people who likes to boast and take credit for someone else's work then when things go south he says its someone else's fault. He was nothing more than a braggart/grifter/ conman/ opportunist/ professional lier. Saw a video on the news from night vision showing yet again illegals getting over his BIG BEAUTIFUL UNSCALEABLE WALL. This wasn't the first incident. His wall was a SHAM/ SCAM. China anint paid crap consumers did. His border agreement with Canada and Mexico was not much different than what it replaced. Where's all the jobs he promised his tax cuts would bring back from overseas? Oh wait those companies bought back stock and put the rest in the bank. A few thousand came back at best. And don't forget Wisconsin and the Carrier plant in Indiana. He said he negotiated a deal to keep it open. It stayed open long enough to train Mexicans then closed sending those jobs south. Wisconsin he announced about 13,000 high paying jobs were coming. Their still waiting only a few jobs came doing security. Gump was just a fraud that boasted about himself constantly but in truth was the main character in the emperor's New clothes.
As far as oil independence it occurred before he took office and keystone pipeline is owned by a Canadian company and carried Canadian drilled oil to refineries that exported most of the products only a small part of it went to American consumers. And even when it was fully complete would have only had a few hundred permanent jobs. As far as oil prices keystone isn't the cause because most countries prices have spiked the pandemic and restrictions on going places lowered the price due to less being used. The lack of people getting around even effected the environment to the point places around the world in just a few months saw a reduction in pollution. The water in Venice go cleaner then in years. In India and China the air got cleaner. Now with the vaccinations and people starting to get around including taking trips the low fuel inventory and increased demand has caused the price until they both meet up with each other. So Biden stopping the pipeline had very little effect on gas prices that was another sham that's been put on the public.
you Americans are pretty pethetic, you never care about the rest of the world do you? America destroyed middle east but apparently trump is bad ( he at least didn't start any new war) but what do you care,eh? grain prices go high and that makes trump a devil ,other presidents destroy whole country but its alright,do you guys have any idea who much america is hated because of all these useless wars?
