| Milforum Moderator  | Post; Bill Mauldin's Willie and Joe, WWII cartoonsI looked around on the forum and I couldn't find anything on Bill Mauldin's Willie and Joe. Mauldin was in the Army durring WWII and started to draw cartoons about US soldiers in the field. In stead of drawing the soldiers clean cut, he drew them as they were, filthy and in need of a shave. Mauldin made a few people in high places mad, but his popularity with the common soldier kept his cartoons alive. Here are a few of my favorites. More can be found at http://ww2.pstripes.osd.mil/02/nov02/mauldin/  "Able Fox Five to Able Fox. I got a target but ya gotta be patient."  "Nonsense. S-2 reported that machine gun silenced hours ago. Stop wiggling your fingers at me."  Fresh, spirited American troops, flushed with victory, are bringing in thousands of hungry, ragged, battle-weary prisoners.  "Now that you mention it, it does sound like th' patter of rain on a tin roof." |

| Master Gunner | I can't seem to be able to get the image in like you guys but the one I always liked is number 35. An old Cavalry 1st Sgt turns his back, hides his face and shoots his broken down jeep like he would've done a wounded horse years ago.  Here you go - DTop
