Why don't they just call this episode "G.I. D'oh"? That would make a lot more sense. NorthernThunder 04:01, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Obviously your not a big Simpsons fan. It's a tradition. In the scripts for the show, D'oh is written as [Annoyed Grunt]. And as a joke, MOST (there are exceptions) of the episodes with d'oh in the title are written with Annoyed Grunt. Like I said, there are exceptions, such as D'ohin' in the Wind. -- Scorpion0422 04:25, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Am I the only one who thinks that this episode bears a striking resemblance to the family guy episode Saving Private Brian?

[edit] Recruiters "dumb" comment

It is impossible that the "dumbest of the dumb in this state..." comment is a reference to John Kerry's joke at a November 2006 midterm rally. Episodes are produced many months ahead of time.

I don't think its a reference, but for the record, the producers can add lines with as little time as a week remaining. -- Scorpion0422 05:01, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

They should have have just called this Episode "Fuck the US Army - Happy Veterans Days from the Simpsons!"--Purpleslog 05:06, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree the political message was laden on pretty thick. Don't know of any sources though.--Lord of the Ping 06:38, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Calm down, encyclopedia is not a place for your pointless rant. --Svetovid 17:27, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rock music?

"The Army recruitment film shown at Springfield Elementary uses Arise, Ye Russian People from Prokofiev's soundtrack for Alexander Nevsky before switching to rock music." What exactly is the title of the rock music being played? I know I have heard it before.´ The Army recruitment film shown at Springfield Elementary uses Arise, Ye Russian People from Prokofiev's soundtrack for Alexander Nevsky before switching to Martika's "Toy Soldiers." this is wrong!
after Arise, Ye Russian People comes the rock song (elementary school). the song Toy Soldiers is used in an other position (army camp).
better more bullets than wrong information. -- Simpsonspedia.net 21:50, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Traditional music?

You can hear a traditional theme after minute 12:30, then the troups are rolling into Springfield (just interrupted by Homers colleag asking "Is this war?" and the answer "No Sir, just a simulation." [...]). I allways thought of this music as a kind of pirates theme, but I do not know anything about the title or the author. Seams to me to be an "american thing" - so I do not have any intimate knowledge about that matter ;-) Can you help me out, please? This should definitly be mentioned in the "cultural references"... BTW: Please ignore orthography. Thanks, Ralf --85.181.104.18 23:21, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
