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. Marching through various terrain such as mud, snow and jungle, Private Snafu complains about his infantry work. Private Snafu wades through jungle river, until a crocodile emerges carrying his rucksack. Private Snafu singing “I’ve got the infantry blues” while his boots are depicting with sounding train horns. Mountain range with sign saying “Rest room 18,000 MI”. Private Snafu laments about being a “dogface”, wishes he had joined the Tank Corps as "they do their fighting on a nice, soft seat". 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. Private Snafu rides PT boat 13 through choppy waters. Private Snafu’s stomach is depicted with choppy waters. “Give me air!” cries Private Snafu after coughing up water while riding on two fish. A water-skiing Technical Fairy grants his wish, teleporting Private Snafu to a P-38 airplane. Private Snafu has difficulty controlling altitude of the Lockheed P-38 Lightning plane and runs into a mountain. 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.
