Originally released in Ocotber 1941, two months before the U.S. entered World War II. Reference to the famous radio quiz show "TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT" (which featured "The $64 Question" and someone occasionally heckling "You'll be sorry!!!" at the contestant) at 2:25. The "Infantry" in the mess hall sequence includes caricatures of producer Leon Schlesinger {the fat one with the bad toupee}, his production manager Henry Binder {the wavy-haired one}, and Leon's brother-in-law Ray Katz.

@Zizumia1 It is indeed odd. However, this cartoon came out just before World War II started in America.

This made me laugh, but it kind of made the army seem retarded, which seems odd for a WWII cartoon

Oddly enough they weren't too far from the truth the military's budget after World War I had been so heavily slashed that the troops really were training with wooden guns and cars with the word TANK written on the side
excellent restoration!
