I thought the argument about FDR being naïve was fascinating because that was the first time I have ever heard that. I always thought everyone loved FDR but apparently not. However, regardless of FDR’s actions, a President will always have individuals that think they have done wrong regardless of what they did, because we know the outcome of their decisions. However, the one problem I do have with FDR is that it seems to me that he kept Truman out of the loop of information, especially about the Atomic bomb I have always found that to be interesting that the Vice-President did not even have a clue about the bomb until FDR died.
I thought the cartoons were very funny and offer a good insight to what the public may have been thinking. I think we should have watched at least one per class, but that is just my opinion. However, about the cartoon Private Snafu I wonder if they were made to break up the routine of Army training or if the Generals thought, the average GI was so dumb that the only way for them to learn was with cartoons? Just a thought.

I have to agree that the Private SNAFU cartoons seemed to be more than low-brow and might border on insulting to GI's.
