( in reference to the nosy neighbor on bewitch ) . however and when you see the result of gossip in the pvt . snafu short rumor and you see that it not quite a laughing matter . in this case and the perpetually witless soldier overhears something about bombing and immediately assume that the axis power have attack the united state . so and he tell it to someone and who tell someone else and who tell someone else and and it continue . a in the russian be come and the russian be come and the story get blow more and more out of proportion each time and so that when it get back to snafu . well and you know what i mean . yes and it mostly wwii propaganda complete with a derogatory term for the japanese but i have to say that the pvt . snafu short be actually quite funny . of course and since they have dr. seuss write and mel blanc provide the voice and it no surprise that these come out rather cool . worth see .
