Yes, that's one of several giveaways as to who was in charge on this particular Snafu picture, Snafu's facial construction and expressions being another.
I don’t think this convinced a single infantryman who saw this. During my deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, I could clearly see that Airmen and Sailors had it much better than we who were in the Army and Marines.
Well DUH. It takes a whole lot more time, effort and money to train a pilot as opposed to a private. And the Taliban and IS didn't have ships, so the navy doesn't have much to do but launch tomahawks.
@@waveygravey9347 There were plenty of support Sailors (e.g. medical, quarter master, intelligence) in both theaters of operations and very few of the Airmen in these places were pilots or aircraft crew.
You say “well duh”, but you don’t know what you’re talking about. a loooot of money is spent on training infantry. And your average sailor or airmen is not a pilot.
Well, I will admit that I went Air Force to avoid the draft (yea, that long ago...my number was 16) and while the Navy had better food, we did have some nice conditions. However my first assignment was with a mobile Forward Air Control Post so that was a perpetual camping trip at least during working hours. And we had 20 year old "temporary" barracks in Iceland that let the wind blow snow through the "temporary" seams.
From Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis in "At War With the Army" I imagine. It's the opening song: In the Navy, they get steaks, Caviar, and whipped cream cakes. They've got fancy cooks who know what cooking means. In the Army, we get mess, And it really is a mess. Oh the Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the beans! This is the first verse. Quite the funny movie and well worth a watch.
Funny. Love these, but am glad the wars over.
This movie is cool😊😊😊😊😊
3:30 the blackout curtain coming down...classic Chuck Jones

Maybe rooted in that not being a peer conflict fir USA?

Watch “No Time For Sergeants”.

Grandpa used to say "The Navy gets the gravy and the Army gets the beans!"
Jerry Lewis sang it.

Bill Mauldin made it pretty clear how tough it was at the Front.
Staring bad luck in the face by using the #13 for that PT boat.
Were there versions of this for other service branches? Greatly appreciating the WB vibe of these. 😊
Theodore Geisel for attribution ?
Walt disney passes out.
Nobody had it easier in the war than the submarine sailor, for he had the best chance of being killed.
Ha!
That tank looks more like a T-34 then a Sherman.
Did they use the ‘F’ word back then or fouled in SNAFU ?
Of course they had the f word. Didn't you ever read The Catcher in the Rye?
@@Marckymarc71 Better yet, Read the book Battle Cry and learn how the Japanese yelled "Fug you Joe, Fug Babe Ruth!" I always got a kick out of that.
The first of these addressed this very point; the pause was delicious!
It's a VERY old word, apparently.
They only showed that movie to guys that had jobs that sucked…
Someone send this to the IDF.... And the Ukrainians lol
