The moral of this cartoon: Be content with the job you're given. It may not be the most glamorous, but know that there are some jobs that are even less glamorous.

[@jackofalltrades6129]

Pretty much. When I heard about people who go into sewer pipes to unclog them, I was grateful for retail. Sure, idiot customers are a drag, but no pay could ever compensate removing the remains of a White Castle buffet from the drains.

If I was a conscript during a war, I'd be grateful for any job that kept me out of combat.

[@theduke7539]

it was the width sizes. The Army in ww2 didnt use the modern Greek/latin phonetics they do today. Back then they used names. Alfred Benny Charlie David, you get the picture

What a job , a servant to a gang of feather dusters ! :-))

[@bernhardwall6876]

Sounds like this cartoon was made before Tarfu got his own cartoon, where he was in the Navy. Does that mean that Fubar was in the Air Force?

how many boots does Charlie need?

[@theduke7539]

It's a rating of arch size and width.

[@theduke7539]

They didnt adopt the Alfa Bravo Charlie Delta until the Korean War.

[@seattleportista4150]

@@theduke7539 Not quite-- The Military Phonetic Alphabet goes back to 1913. In WWI, it began Able Boy Cast Dog Easy Fox. By WWII it had evolved to Affirm (or Able) Baker Charlie Dog Easy Fox. During the Korean War ("police action", as the US hasn't declared war officially since WWII), UN forces continued to use the WWII Phonetic Alphabet. The current version, used across NATO, was adopted in 1957, four years after the Korean hostilities ended in the uncomfortable cease fire still in place today.

[@marksheiman1538]

​@@seattleportista4150you are talking about the international phonic alphabet. Except for aviation where delta becomes data.

Situation normal all fouled up, but I am not in the military

[@mutalord]

okay, I know that maybe no one on youtube knows this, but why was he repeating Charlie and Benny names so many times?

[@MGower4465]

Shoe widths using a variant of the phonetic alphabet [likely Albert, Benny, Charlie, Dave, Edward..since they are men's shoes). Width is measured at the widest part of the foot, usually the area just behind the toes. Shoe widths vary from 2A to 4E, though you aren't likely to find either extreme on a shoe store

[@GodaiNoBaka]

Yup. The current standardized phonetic alphabet (Alfa, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, etc.) wasn't adopted until NATO was created after the war. During WW2 there where several variant systems in use - in fact each allied military tended to come up with it's own. Benny was never, to my knowledge, in OFFICIAL use by the US Army - the proper word would have been "Boy" until 1939 and "Baker" from 1939 to 1956. But there have always been people who either can't memorize the proper words or choose not to (and SNAFU would definitely be one of those types...), so you do hear variations from time to time.

Why low quality?

[@mfbfreak]

Video uploaded 9 years ago. Back then, video quality was often like that. Uploads from non-HD sources.

[@icepic21]

For a cartoon about 80 years old, which is a miracle that we can preserve media from that long ago, I'd say it ain't too bad in terms of quality.
