"The moral, here, Snafu, is the harder you woik, the sooner we're gunna beat Hitler, that joik." - The Technical Fairy, 1943

[@lassenforge7648]

I found I am quite fond, of Seusses new style, he helped sure pummel, them Nazi's a while. Wish he was still here, and his wisdom wuld rail, or the fascists will win and democracy fail. So don't be a stooge for ol Putin, that fink, because those who back BS, like Hitler, they stink.

Hitler heard about that comment April 30, 1945. Guess we know why that's how he chose to spend the rest of that day lol.

Sounds appropriate 🙂😃

A surprise air strike on a camp would've been difficult to dodge regardless of troup discipline. At least they had a good time until the end.

You can see Dr Seuss' influence in the mechanical arms coming out of the bomb to dig Snafu out of his hole 🤣

[@MrIveyIsBonkers]

Every role is important. If you don't do it, someone else has to, and that could cost a man in the war. And every man matters.

Go to say it's very weird hearing doctor seuss's writing style in something more adult

[@canaisyoung3601]

Dr. Seuss did a lot of adult satirical stuff before moving on to the children's literature we all know and love. Maybe that's why cancel culture got their claws on him...

Yeah Mel Blanc (and if I’m correct also Dr. Seuss) helped extensively with these films

[@bunnybird9342]

@@twm0904 Dr. Seuss was involved with Private Snafu. Notice the rhymes.

wel having gone through all that mess, the hardest part of the military is the constant bullying nonsense you have to put up with... it was a great relief when the day finally came I no longer had to deal with that...

[@Limrasson]

That sounds odd, shouldn't you normally get past the hazing period?

[@lewis7315]

@@Limrasson It has nothing to do with hazing like in college...... its lots darker... petty officers were expected to intimidate, threaten bully their sibbordinates... that was called propper leadership... its always been that way...and human nature being what it is, many superiors loved the power it gave them over other people... only those who have gone through that experience can ever understand it...

[@Limrasson]

@@lewis7315 Well, I haven't been a soldier, but my dad was drafted and he has fond memories, like it was rough but his stories are always nice. But of course it wasn't in the US, it was in pre USSR collapse soviet block Hungary. But I understand that different people fit into different kind of groups, one huge positive not having mandatory service anymore.

[@lewis7315]

@@Limrasson that situation common to everyone had nothing to do with fitting into groups... I served in the Coast guard 1966-70

[@Limrasson]

@@lewis7315 What I've meant is that others might take the bullying part differently. And that the officers above you have a huge effect on how well you adjust. But if you say that there was a lot of unnecessary pointless bullshit that was, let's say, driven by the ego of senior officers then I'll believe that too.

It's common for faeries to vanish with some effect. Glitter or stars or smoke. This one exploded. Don't worry, he is fine.

[@lennypayne4241]

Old-timey film projectors.

[@julianhermanubis6800]

The film sprockets may be worn and are jumping a bit as they are loading through the projector, or the projector itself wasn't adjusted properly when the dupe was done.
