. . . GOING HOME informs us. The American Military extorted taxpayer funding to churn out the mind-control doggerel verses featured in GOING HOME to drum the idea into the brains of privates than only generals could bask in the glow of War Stories. These armchair quarterbacks, such as "I Like Ike" Eisenhower, exploited GOING HOME Dictums for hushing up the Real Heroes of the Front Lines, so that they themselves could hog all the Glory and move into the White House. The grunts who survived World War Two were so thoroughly shushed by their own tax dollar-funded Thought Control of the GOING HOME variety that the phrase "He never talks about the War" became a Cliché. This not only was a misuse then of taxpayer funds, but it also Doomed America to half a million MORE War Dead and an inflation-adjusted $100 trillion in unneeded "Defense" spending during the following century. That's because when all of information doled out to the Civilian Public about the LAST war comes from the mouths of the Blood Money-Gorged Military\Industrial Complex, rather than the survivors of Front-Line Hell, the cards will always be stacked in favor of more and more War, whatever the cost!

Going Home (1944) *** (out of 4) This War Department short warns soldiers of the dangers of going home and running their mouths. Private Snafu gets to go home where he begins talking to anyone who will listen to him. He talks about certainly classified material and before you know it several American soldiers are dead. GOING HOME is one of the better entries in the series as it's highly entertaining on a number of levels including the fact that there's some adult material here. Just check out the dame in the theater who Snafu runs his mouth to. The sexual innuendo with her rather large boobs was obviously something that general audiences at the time wouldn't have been able to see. Once again the animation is extremely good and especially one scene where we see Japan get leveled. Fans of the series are certainly going to enjoy the humor as well as the dark ending.

This is part of a series of training films featuring Private Snafu, the worst excuse for a soldier ever. There will be spoilers ahead:The Private Snafu shorts were made with the intent to train soldiers in proper behavior by showing them the worst possible behavior from a moron in uniform, one Private Snafu.In this short, Snafu returns to Podunk, a wide spot in the road, to a hero's welcome. Clearly, his home town doesn't realize what an idiot he is! He proceeds to violate all security protocols to blab everything he knows, to make himself look like an important man.Of course, there will inevitably be consequences to his inability to keep his trap shut. This being a training film designed to drive home a point, the consequences manifest themselves by the end of the short.As is typical, Snafu is clueless as to his own part in the fiasco which unfolds and he receives his just desserts. This short is available on various DVD collections of the Snafu shorts and is well worth seeing. Recommended.

Private Snafu returns home with a large coming party.Snafu tells his family, girlfriend, and friends what he did.Course the stuff he reveals is confidential and not suppose to revealed to the public.But like always Snafu announces all the Army's secrets and plans including the bomb.It's another memorable Snafu toon.This Private Snafu cartoon wasn't shown to the U.S. army because it'll spread fear about the development of the bomb.but it did get released on the DVD set, course I had to download it in order to see it.
