American cartoon animation “Private Snafu” shows the difficulty of each United States Armed Forces service branches- the United States Army Infantry and Tank Corps, the US Navy and the US Air Forces- in World War 2. “All the Air Force gets the glory and the Navy gets the cheers” laments Private Snafu.

A crass, cigar-smoking miniature G.I. fairy called the “Technical Fairy (First Class)” appears and grants Private Snafu’s wish. As a member of the Tank Corps, Private Snafu rides a tank across rugged terrain with difficulty controlling the tank. Hanging from the main gun of the tank, he wishes with regret that he had joined the Navy. The Technical Fairy grants Private Snafu’s wish and teleports him to the Navy.

The cockpit falls from the mountain, where Private Snafu finds himself back in the Infantry. “I see you’re back sir, here is your pack sir.” says the Technical Fairy as he hands over a pack to Private Snafu. “All the roads are pretty rough, parlay-voo,” sings the Technical Fairy, to the tune of “Hinky Dinky Parlez Vou (Mademoiselle from Armentières)”. “and all the services are tough, parlay-voo” sings back Private Snafu as he and the Technical Fairy march together. The Technical Fairy and Private Snafu sing “any "soldier or gob" should "finish the job"- Hinky Dinky Parlez Vou” as they march away.
