“Holy Cats! I’ve been drafted!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Have I got your attention?<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Directed by Chuck Jones.<\/p>\n

As the mailman makes his rounds, he delivers a letter to one Bertram Bonny. But as he pulls away, the exhaust from his vehicle causes the letter to fly towards a different house. Namely, one that belongs to Bugs Bunny. Taking the letter, he finds out America wants him! (Despite the fact he already was the only toon to actually be part of our armies.) He arrives at boot camp and goes to take his physical. AUGH! Too much nude! I have no desire to see that much exposed man-flesh. It’s nasty. (The guy behind Bugs is so messed up, his hair changes colors.)<\/p>\n

Bugs shocks the doctor who runs the x-ray, and scores perfect on the vision test, reading everything on it. (All those carrots really helped.) He gets his uniform and joins the ranks, introducing himself as Private Bugs Bunny to his superiors. The sergeant (who I think is voiced by John T. Smith, voice of the Crusher<\/a>) sarcastically says he is Porky Pig. (Don’t flatter yourself pal.) Perhaps he should have done that out of earshot of HIS superior, Colonel Putty Tat. (Apparently General Tweety has been asking about him, too.)<\/p>\n

He is forced to make Bugs go on a long hike. (And is down a stripe.) Returning to Camp Ono, (Laugh) Bugs takes a bath in a helmet. It belongs to the Colonel and when he puts it on, he takes another stripe from Smith. (Gasp! He’s smoking! We better edit that out because people are stupid enough to do exactly what cartoons do.) Smith tells Bugs to clean and dress the chickens for dinner tonight. (The army makes you do that?) Bugs takes him literally. (What classy Roosters. All hoping to be nominated for the year of the rooster, no doubt)<\/p>\n

Bugs next uses a bomb to hammer up a poster, blowing up himself and launching the shell to the colonel. Down to his last stripe, Smith asks why Bugs won’t listen to him. He has ears… really long ears. Gasp! Private Bugs Bunny this whole time was really: Bugs Bunny! Bugs is told that rabbits just aren’t meant to join the army. (Species-ist.) But they do have a job Bugs can do: testing all the bombs for the duds. Only 30 more years til retirement!<\/p>\n
