    davefoa is absolutely correct. This was made towards the end of the war with Japan and the 'bomb' refernce was entirely too close to the manhatten Project that was super secret and in the works. Hence this was never released.
    Thanks Dave.

    This would have been made in 45, not 44. The end card said that it was made in May but shelved because of the similarity to the A-bomb. In May of 44 the military was heading towards Europe & not coming home from there.
    Thanks for the uploads, great stuff.

    Remember.. These were army training films, aimed at adults,never intended for the theatre or censors

    The people who made the cartoon didn't know about nukes - they were too secret. But the video wasn't used because the censors DID know about nukes (at least enough to know what they'll do).

      there was a science fiction author who wrote about a nuclear bomb in one of his books. OSS questioned him how he knew, he said he followed various scientists and saw that anyone with a background in nuclear physics was relocating to new mexico, meaning they're all collaborating on some big nuclear energy project

    Good thing the defense department took it's own advice from these SNAFU videos and didn't air this one.

    thanks for posting that SNAFU, its some real great stuff! I can see where the war department might have gotten their panties in a knot over that "superbomb" (and I caught the upskirt as well from the dame)

    Boy did he ever adjust back to civilian life well most military personnel I’ve ever known want to talk as little as possible when it comes to military intelligence and war related subject matter

      For a civilian, its a cool story, but for the vet he has to relive both the parts he tells and the parts he doesnt.

    Wow, they nearly disobied their own advice with that nuke reference. What were they thinking? They could have easily used a rifle or machinegun to portray it.

    It’s really funny the first thing after he’s went back home not welcome his parents he’s prefer to be with his girlfriend but yet seeing him talking about everything he knows in the army, Before he was discharged she will be informed by his informant not to say anything about what he do during the army, I guess this an educational cartoon that’s meant for the army to teach the Soldiers who is leaving the army not to talk about what they do in the army

    @qbzzt You know...know that l think about it, it seems very strange that the people "in the loop" about "The Manhattan Project" and the people who pull cartoons were one and the same. lt also seems that killing this cartoons release for the reasons given wasn't a greater security risk than leaving it alone.

    This one wasn't shown back then because the government thought the secret weapon against Japan was too close to the atom bomb in the results.

    I lowered myself into a room of the pentagon, careful not to touch the alarmed floor, set off a smoke grenade, distracted then president Clinton with a quick BJ, then left with it.
