Stir Crazy Draftee Signs And War-Time Musings
A collage of Army draft fatigue and satire cites a draftee's quirks and mockery of military life. It mashes in quotes, cartoons, and commentary on ROTC leaders, Roosevelts lamp of victory, and wartime morale with references to Gardiner Dresser, Toto the gorilla, and the Ringling circus. It also notes William McChesney Martin’s draft call and Belgium’s dog rationing under Nazi rule, blending humor with grim wartime reality.
